Subject: When assigning an ip address to an ethernet adapter, the newest
X-Git-Tag: ss-051006~2
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fb2297599de1fb7447a050e16e0179f739460473;p=thirdparty%2Fiproute2.git

When assigning an ip address to an ethernet adapter, the newest
(050929) version of 'ip addr' hangs while older versions worked.
The problem was traced to be a removed initialisation. The patch
below corrects this problem.
