+Subject: [PATCH] ipconfig: add nameserver IPs to kernel-parameter ip=
+
+On small systems (e.g. embedded ones) IP addresses are often configured
+by bootloaders and get assigned to kernel via parameter "ip=".  If set to
+"ip=dhcp", even nameserver entries from DHCP daemons are handled. These
+entries exported in /proc/net/pnp are commonly linked by /etc/resolv.conf.
+
+To configure nameservers for networks without DHCP, this patch adds option
+<dns0-ip> and <dns1-ip> to kernel-parameter 'ip='.
