X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e6d184e33109010412ad1d59719af74755a935f4;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

[NET]: Fix ifenslave to not fail on lack of IP information

Patch to ifenslave so that under older ABI versions, a failure to propogate ip
information from master to slave does not result in a filure to enslave the
slave device.
