[Ltib] Using iproute(2)

[Jorge A. Castro]

Hi everyone in the mailing list. I'm using the iproute because I need to create a netdevice to use with the Virtual CAN. I enabled the iproute for compilation, result was ok, but when using it I can't do

 ip link add type vcan

I got that command "add" is unknown. Typing ip link help I had:

Usage: ip link set DEVICE { up | down |
                             arp { on | off } |
                             dynamic { on | off } |
                             multicast { on | off } |
                             allmulticast { on | off } |
                             promisc { on | off } |
                             trailers { on | off } |
                             txqueuelen PACKETS |
                             name NEWNAME |
                             address LLADDR | broadcast LLADDR |
                             mtu MTU }
       ip link show [ DEVICE ]

and it seems that the "add" option is not available. How can I have it? Looking at my host iproute application it brings me a lot of more options rather than the one in LTIB.

Any help on this?

Best regards!
