The interface is brought up there > in deconfigured state: I am aware of that. But the problem is not with the script. udhcpc calls the script _after_ it has acquired the lease. My problem is that if the interface is down, then udhcpc will fail to get a lease in the first lace. It therefore _never_ calls the script with the "bound" option. BTW: How do I configure udhcpc to send the hostname to the server? The "-H hostname" option seems to _request_ a hostname from the server. Why is -H taking an argument then? _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list uClinux-dev@uclinux.org http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by uclinux-dev@uclinux.org To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev
