[BusyBox] welcome ifconfig and route

[Ray Olszewski]

What about it? The sample you sent shows an "ip" command that closely
corresponds to "ifconfig". It is not, though, an equivalent to the
functionality of "ifconfig -a", which would list an *unconfigured* interface
(that is, one with no IP address). 

Do you know a way to make "ip" do that? If so, I've never found it. Neither
"ip addr show" nor "ip link show" reports unconfigured interfaces, and what
else is there?
