Dear all, Due to the DLNA specification, we have to support auto-IP when there is no DHCP server. "dhcpcd" is used by android and it supports auto-IP, but there are 2 designs inside framework make auto-IP not available. 1. wireless manager timeout is the same as default DHCP discover timeout.(30s) 2. dhcpcd will set failed property when get auto-IP
We have tried following methods to modify dhcpcd. 1. Using property system a. When DLNA is on, set property to note its status. b. dhcpcd reads status property. When status is on, set default DHCP discover timeout to 10s. c. Script reads status property. When status is on, set result property to "ok" for IPv4LL case. Property system is not for general applications. Thus we can not accomplish step a. 2-1. Write status file a. When DLNA is on, write status file in the application folder. b. dhcpcd read status file. When status is on, set default DHCP discover timeout to 10s. c. script read status file. When status is on, set result property to "ok" for IPv4LL case. The step c is a script, if condition and file access always cause error. So we make a change again. 2-2. Write status file and create a new reason for dhcpcd a. When DLNA is on, write status file in the application folder. b. dhcpcd read status file. When status is on, set default DHCP discover timeout to 10s. c. dhcpcd read status file. When status is on, set reason to new created one. The case in script is alwayse set result property to "ok". There is a slide to figure out these cases. http://www20.zippyshare.com/v/69712992/file.html Although auto-ip can be used now, but this is still a workaround. Is it possible to add an API in wireless module to enable/disable auto- IP for general applications? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
