[PATCH] ifupdown - fix custom mac address when using iproute's 'ip'

[Wade Berrier]

Hi,

When using CONFIG_FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_IP, mac addresses from
/etc/network/interfaces aren't being set correctly.  This is because
of argument differences between ifconfig and 'ip'.

It is passed as:

ip link set address ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx eth0 up

when it should be:

ip link set address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx eth0 up

Note: this is accordance to debian's interfaces format described here:
http://www.annodex.net/cgi-bin/man/man2html?interfaces

The attached patch skips the 'ether' (or any other class) keyword so
the arguments are correct.

Does it look ok?

Wade
