Now I did :) busybox+ifconfig-ip: -rwxr-xr-x 1 mss mss 531500 2009-06-18 18:57 busybox -rwxr-xr-x 1 mss mss 618905 2009-06-18 18:57 busybox_unstripped busybox-ifconfig+ip: -rwxr-xr-x 1 mss mss 551168 2009-06-18 19:17 busybox -rwxr-xr-x 1 mss mss 640684 2009-06-18 19:17 busybox_unstripped Yes, it seems like the ip applet is definitely bigger.
