Hi,

another argument about hostapd :)
if have access point we must have way to assign IP for AP clients.

Last spring I made firmware based on FreeBSD for router with only 4MB NOR flash 
(D-Link DIR-320).
Since this device is router I must be able to serve DHCP. And current 
implementation of dhcpclient, that we have, is same isc-dhcp, and I replace 
system dhcpclient with ports one+dhcpd but with small patch that put basic dhcp 
utils onto libdhcp.so.

So:
1. We already have code for libdhcp in base.
2. We already use isc-dhcp as dhcpclient.
3. We already build small-size embedded routers firmware with DHCP server.
4. We have hostap and other router/AP functionality.

So why not include dhcpd in base now?
