is this the right place to discuss issues with udhcpc?

[David Collier]

Denys,

thank you for that. My first concern was whether there is a specialist
forum for udhcpc, but if this is a good enough place, then that's fine.

I suddenly woke up at 4 am remembering that there was a "don't fork"
setting I could use to get more info, so I'll get on to it soon.

I an probably upgrade busybox, but it all came as part of a buildroot for
an AVR32, so it could take me a moment or two to sort out exactly how!
:-)

David
