Bug#606654: Busybox should include arping applet
Package: busybox-udeb
Version: 1.10.2-2
I think the arping applet should be enabled in the Busybox build.
It helps a great deal in debugging general network issues and could be helpful to create a solution for some other bugs like:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=537271 (network may not be usable as soon as link is up)
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=606515 (Preseed installation does not wait for network to be ready)
Yours sincerely,
Floris Bos
