Hello, The patch makes a modification to the LXC busybox template - the one that creates a minimal container with Busybox.
This container will start the udhcpc service - the DHCP client - on init. For an embedded Linux image, can we assume that most containers will have manual / static networking configuration on start? If so, starting the udhcpc service by default is useless, since the service will then have to be killed. If there are still containers that use DHCP for networking, they can start udhcpc after container boot. The patch deactivates default start of the DHCP client on a Busybox container init.
