Hi,

I solved the issue myself, the problem was obvious, it's shown in the log.
Sure, network was unreachable because the computer has no IP address assigned. \
192.168.15.100 is IP address of PC. I just had to configure a static IP address on a \
computer, if DHCP is not running. This solved problem.

Your tips is helpful, you're right, I don't need to specify broadcast when I am \
specifying netmask. So:
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.15.1 netmask 255.255.255.0


And agree, this is not a Busybox bug. But hope it isn't too criminal ;)

Regards,
Alex
