Bug#262624: netcfg: Preliminary patch that may fix this

[Andrew Pollock <apollock@debian.org>]

Package: netcfg
Version: 1.00
Followup-For: Bug #262624

Hi,

I've formalised some hacking that I did with aj a couple of weekends ago
into a patch. It compiles, and I've tested the functionality of the
patch in a separate program, but I haven't tested netcfg with the patch,
because whilst I can build a udeb, I've no idea how to rebuild all of
d-i to incorporate that udeb... :-(

So, here's the patch, maybe a netcfg knowledgable person can look at it
and tell if it's utter bollocks or not, and take it from there.

regards

Andrew
