If course we can do that. Patches can be found in the IPFire 3
repository. You can apply them to the build of net-tools in IPFire 2 and
send me a branch to merge.

It would be a good idea to add all the patches up into one big one or
just pick the one that are really needed.

net-tools if deprecated since 1996. So there is no further development
and we actually removed ifconfig and some other commands from IPFire 3.
If you write scripts, please use the tools from ip-route2 instead.
