I myself wrote a hack that gets the old ip-address from the cache and |
20 |
temporary installs it as the ip-address (my machine has a "static" address, |
21 |
but lately the cable network has been unstable). This way the machine will |
22 |
function well in case of network problems. Maybe such an "optional" hack |
23 |
could also be included in the boot scripts of udhcp. |
