PATCH 1/1 skeleton: remove loopback interface configuration from inittab

The lo interface is marked auto in /etc/network/interfaces, so the configuration of the loopback network interface is part of the S40network init script. This causes the "RTNETLINK answers: File exists" error message to appear at startup time.

Not tested, but I think it's ok.

Thanks.

Any chance of this being accepted upstream?

Yes. Just wait for Peter (Buildroot's maintainer) to pick up your patch. It may take a few days for this to happen. If we haven't merged your patch in one week from now, then ping us again.

Thanks!
