[Bug 1363681] Re: netcfg fails to recognize BOOTIF

[Jens Elkner]

Digging around I found the curent runk for netconfig and saw, that it
probably finds BOOTIF= now and used this binary instead. However, it
doesn't seem to work (at least not as I expect it, i.e. what other
distros/demos do). So I created the follwoing patches, which make it
work.
