If I put net-tools from packages.debian.org/wheezy/armhf/net-tools/download on a memory stick and use dpkg to install it, the XBMC network setup reckons that the network is 'up' (at least until I try changing anything) but it never acquires an address and if I do..

ifconfig is already obsolete together with other utils from net-tools package and replaced by "ip".
although we re-added ifconfig for now it will disappear with Jessie coming.

on the already deployed RC3 images installed without net-tools it can be anytime added with apt-get but easier is to just use busybox's ifconfig applet - by calling

Code:

busybox ifconfig

busybox is deployed by default.
