I installed the tcpip1 package on my BL2, without problem.
I wonder if something is funny in tcpip2?

Sounds like something has been overwritten.  But it's hard
to see how busybox was overwritten, it is in a special
directory.  Did you install the tcpip packages with installpkg?

If you haven't invested much in that partition, I suggest you
reinstall.  However, if you've already done stuff on that 
partition that you don't want to lose, I suggest you boot the 
ramdisk version, mount the partition and see if you can fix 
the problem.  First thing to check is the busybox executable.  
If it has been overwritten on the HD, replace it with the busybox 
from the ramdisk.
