[BusyBox] udhcpc and ARP?

[tom at ceisystems.com]

Hello again,
	Well, realistically, they're _my_ rules.  :-P  The only case
that I can think of would be a server that ignores this functionality,
or a client that misbehaves when it detects that it has a duplicate.
Realistically speaking, I also have never had any issues with the DHCP
client not checking the parameters from the server.  The only time doing
such would _realistically_ become an issue is if a client has been
configured in the dynamic pool range, and the server has not realised
it.  It happens, but is unlikely in practice.

Thanks all,
Thomas Cameron

Steven> ...what were the the cases being made for it's inclusion?

Russ> [ARP after DHCP sucks]

Steven> Ok. Fair enough!  So how about adding this anyway using #ifdefs?

Heh, not so fast.  By your own rules, you'd need to make a case for its
inclusion :)

I've never had any breakage with the current udhcp system and you
haven't actually said you've had any breakage either.  If you've got
some, document it, and then submit some ifdef'ed patches for inclusion
:)
