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.

Cheers,
Steven
