Kenshi Muto apparently fixed this in subversion:
* Kenshi Muto
- modprobe in busybox won't load af_packet. This causes DHCP
configuration fail.
This can be avoid by running modprobe without '/sbin/'.
But I don't understand this fix, as modprobe is in /sbin/ anyway. Also, I
can't reproduce the problem with the current unfixed version of netcfg, it
loads af_packet just fine. Kenshi?
(Removing unnecessary hardcoded paths is a good thing anyway, of course.)
