The thing to try would be to change line 43 of the original
patch from using ipconfig to using ip and doing a flush.
(Of course you'd have to use a patched klibc.)
Or maybe adding a flush after the ipconfig brings the
interface down.
Hopefully this would remove the old "boot-temporary" ip
netmask, routes, etc. and leave the interface "clean"
and ready to get it's normal configuration.
Unfortunately I just don't have time right now to try this.
Any help would be appreciated.
