This patch rips out support for route and ifconfig,
wlassistant will use ip instead. It is only
preliminary, I'll code a version which tries to
detect the availability of net-tools or iproute2.
This versions is intended for people wanting to use a
distro which doesn't provide route and ifconfig
anymore, like LFS.

    The second version detects what utilities are installed and
    uses the right one(s).

    I don't know how to implement the netmask parameter for ip
    addr add, maybe someone who knows how to do it can change
    this.

    Hi, sorry it took so long. Thank you for your contribution! Your patch will be merged (slightly modified) in the 0.5.7 version to be released within a few days. In the meanwhile (since 0.5.5 and your patch) a command to remove default route has been introduced. Could you post the proper syntax using the "ip" executable? Thanks for your help!

    This is easy:

    ip route del default
