Description William Hubbs gentoo-dev 2014-04-10 00:18:27 UTC 
In the loopback script in OpenRC, we use the following commands to
initialize the loopback interface:

ip addr add 127.0.0.1/8 dev lo brd + scope host
ip route add 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope host
ip link set lo up

This works for iproute2, but not for busybox's internal ip command,
because busybox's ip command appears to not support the scope modifier.

Can this be looked into and fixed in busybox?

Thanks much,

William
