The DHCP client asks for address from a DHCP server four times before it sets an IPv4 link-local address. And after that it will try once a minute to get an address from a DHCP server. If that's not happening, something is wrong and you should file a bug to bugzilla. Which AP were you using? -- Kalle Valo _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
