networking is broken in 3.0.16 boot-floppies, i haven't looked at it
but my guess is busybox, this version of b-f switched to busybox
ifconfig, route and such from the netkit versions.  it looks like
busybox's notorious lack of portability may be causing problems yet
again.

not sure why that would happen, its a recurring problem nobody can
reproduce and thus fix.
