[LTP] [PATCH] ns-tools/set_ipv4addr: Use ip command as default

[Petr Vorel]

Hi Chen,

Thanks for your patch. While I appreciate you work on LTP networking tests, I'm
against this change for a simple reason: everything which uses ns-tools needs to
be rewritten to use new LTP network shell API (tst_net.sh). Only very simple
fixes for really broken things like 4cf2f2bfd should be accepted.

Thus, please put your effort into rewriting these tests.
FYI Although it's a low priority for me I plan to work on these (I have wip at
least for rmmod). Feel free to join this effort.
See https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/issues/310

Kind regards,
Petr
