right now, I don't think so. I am just too busy with other things, but
someone else might be wanting to do it.

I did have a quick look at the README of udhcpc and it looks pretty
straight forward in adding a udhcp plugin to ConnMan. It might be even
possible that udhcp is a way better solution. Especially with the signal
handling for renew and release. The renew part is pretty important for
future WiMAX support.

Regards

Marcel
