It's not in BL2.  I think it is in tcpip1.

All this symlinking to busybox has a downside.  If you 
subsequently install the tcpip package(s), the new version
of route (etc.) may follow the symlink and overwrite busybox.  
Rather than doing any symlinking (too late now), it would 
be better (and simpler) to install tcpip1 so that the real 
versions of those commands will be in the expected places.

Thanks, but no.  I think it would be better to tell people 
which packages they need to install (with pcmcia.tgz).  It 
appears from what you have said that tcpip1.tgz and modutils.tgz 
are the ones needed.

Yeah, you can put it right after the insmods.
