[PATCH] busybox-1.11.3/busybox-1.13.2: enable backgrounding for udhcpc

[Steffen Sledz]

* The former default behaviour was to exit with failure if lease is not
  immediately obtained. This results in permanent network disconnect if DHCP
  server is (accidentally) not available at boot time. :(

* Since bb 1.14 this is no longer hardcoded and can be configured.

Re: [PATCH] busybox-1.11.3/busybox-1.13.2: enable backgrounding for udhcpc

[Steffen Sledz]

I'd really like some feedback from distro (angstrom, keilos,
slugos, ???) maintainers because most of the distros use 1.13.2
as their preferred version.

Did not do the trick for me. I found out that there was another 
definition for udhcpc command in ifupdown.c (at least in busybox 
1.13.2), that still had the -n parameter. I think that is the reason?

Can't find "another definition for udhcpc" in ifupdown.c.

Can you please check your build. Best would be a clean build.

Which distro and which machine you build for?

Line 529 in ifupdown.c, in pristine bb 1.13.2. And it's angstrom
console-image for armv5.

Works for me. I'm still not sure if -b should be hardcoded (it could be 
passed through udhcpc_opts). On the other hand, if someone does not want 
to leave udhcpc in the background they can just pass -n to it, which 
seems to override -b. So this fix seems fine.

I'd like to have 3 possible network modes: dhcp, zeroconf, or static IP 
and want to switch between them on-the-fly.  It looks like the non-dhcp 
modes can be done using a script or 2 in /etc/udhcpc.d, so it seems 
having udhcpcd running in the background would facilitate this.  Does 
that sound right?

That's not part of this patch. This patch just changes the default
behaviour *if using DHCP*.

Some more ACKs?

Or NAKs (i hope not)?

I shall test with SlugOS, but that's a huge task -- not because of this
change, but because since the sysroot change many weeks ago, we still
have not got SlugOS building in OE again.  With the help of Khem, we're
a lot closer (gcc 4.2.4 builds again), but I still can't generate a
working LE image.

I'll see if I can get a BE image to work well enough today to test this.
