           Summary: /sbin/ifup calls a bogus ifconfig command if some
                    options are unset

/sbin/ifup contains the line:

   ifconfig $DEV $IP broadcast $BROADCAST netmask $NETMASK $ARGS

 This results in an erroneous command line if the user happens to skip setting
BROADCAST or NETMASK in netconf (which I, personally, would /never/ do >.>).
 I have a patch which appends $BROADCAST and $NETMASK to $ARGS if they're
non-empty as is currently done with $POINTOPOINT and $MTU, as well as making 
the
$ARGS building code a bit more pretty :)
 BUT, maybe a better fix is to ensure these settings are set in netconf...
