Summary:                    ifupdown on non-existent interface segfaults,
busybox-1.3
Description: 
When running ifup on a non-existent interface (but configured in
/etc/network/interfaces) gives a segfault. Revision 16646 seems to
introduce the segfault.

Show your /etc/network/interfaces please.

Try attached c.patch and let us know whether that works 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

c.patch applied in rev 16994, waiting for feedback

The segfault is gone, but now the following message is displayed on every
interface:
"ifup: don't see to have all variables for ethx/inet"
(x is 0, 1, ..)

I think it's because of the "[[ ip ....%gateway% ]]". Removed extra spaces
w/o checking" change. But haven't tested it yet.

Just tested and the "don't seem to have all variables" problem is not gone
with reverting the "Removed extra spaces w/o checking" part (although I'm
not sure why you did that).

>(although I'm not sure why you did that)

Because there is no reason why we should issue " ip ... " with leading
space, I think.

Show your /etc/network/interfaces. Please.

My /etc/network/interfaces file:

# Loopback interface.
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# dhcp
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

# fixed
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
	address 192.168.1.254
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	broadcast 192.168.1.255

1) add -a in the commands below, if you specify it please.
Just curious as to what libc are you using?
$ ifdown -v
$ ifup -v
