Hey, I'm new to Busybox, and am running OpenWRT, and have run into  
this issue, my ISP is dropping the oversized packets from udhcp.   
According to the above thread this issue is resolved in DD-WRT now,  
but my non-expert snooping doesn't show that this fix has made its  
way into busybox yet.  Any updates?
