Description:

After removing the net-tools package no connection can be established with hsolinkcontrol / hsoconnect. This is due to the missing ifconfig command that's included in net-tools. Hence net-tools (despite unsupported now) needs to be a dep.

Steps to reproduce:

Uninstall net-tools package and try establishing a UMTS connection using an Option stick and hsolinkcontrol. Running hsoconnect --debug returned the missing ifconfig command.

Output on the command line:
