New ebuild for a dhcp package. Recommended by Jon Nelson. |

This is the right(tm) way of doing dhcp. dhcp events trigger scripts. The |
4 |
current dhcpcd package is not doing that so that we have a braindead |
5 |
implementation of dhcp right now: |

|
7 |
Current situatiom: |
8 |
If a dhcp server is not available then |
9 |
the boot process hangs and then timeouts and proceeds without networking. |
10 |
If I now fix the dhcp server then gentoo will not recognize that an IP is |
11 |
now available. Reboot is necessary to activate dhcp again. |
12 |
|
13 |
udhcp sits in the background and will configure networking when an IP |
14 |
becomes available. No hangs on boot. Integration with boot up scripts not |
15 |
yet done. |
