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?
