Comment(by cscott):

 Root cause seems to be this changelog from busybox:
 {{{
 busybox (1:1.9.1-2) experimental; urgency=low

   * Readd sections gc to dynamic built binaries.
   * debian/config.udeb:
     - Fix remaining problems.
     - Disable ifconfig.
   * util-linux/mount.c:
     - Support relatime. (closes: #460824)

 }}}
 This seems to have made it into debian unstable on 22 Mar 2008 and olpcrd
 0.41 was the first olpcrd built after that date (0.40 was built on Jan 30
 2008).

 It seems that /sbin/ifconfig has been replaced with /bin/ip; {{{ip link
 msh0 up}}} should be equivalent to {{{ifconfig msh0 up}}} and {{{ip addr
 add ADDRESS dev msh0}}} should be equivalent to {{{ifconfig msh0 add
 ADDRESS}}} (use {{{ip -6}}} for IPv6 addresses).

 Testing is required.
