           Summary: slugos patch to udhcp startup script causes dhcp server
                    ip starvation
           Product: Openembedded
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Distributions
        AssignedTo: openembedded-devel at lists.openembedded.org
        ReportedBy: anoah at pfeiffer.edu
         QAContact: tinderbox-oe at gmx.net


slug running openslug HEAD, when first bringing up eth0 interface on dhcp,
should
set the ip to 0.0.0.0. this is how the original /etc/udhcpc.d/50default works.

slugos-specific patch changes to just 'up' the interface. this causes interface
to keep old ip when doing `ifdown eth0; ifup eth0`. dhcp server will ping the
ip before re-issuing lease, but the slug responds, causing server to issue a
new lease for a different ip.

net result, if you have a script or use serial to up/down the interface alot,
your ip keeps changing, and you suck up all the ips in the dhcp range.
