I like this idea, I personally did a hack that took the cache of my dhcpcd to |

bring my interface up. At the time the dhcp server of my ISP was failing |
| 11 |
every now and then. The IP did never change, but I wanted to be up without |
| 12 |
the dhcpd. It workes well, and I think other people might want similar |
| 13 |
things. |
