CAVEATS

Only available on OpenWRT/LEDE systems. Interface names correspond to netifd logical interfaces, not kernel device names. Requires netifd to be running.

HISTORY

ifstatus is part of netifd, the OpenWRT network interface daemon introduced in OpenWRT 12.09 (Attitude Adjustment). It replaced the older hotplug-based network configuration system with a more robust daemon-based approach.
