Hi,<br>
<br>
I use a small watchdog-script for this. It checks for a running
dhclient and starts it if it for some reason failed. Just start it in
rc.local with /etc/scripts/dhc-watchdog.sh > /dev/null 2>
/dev/null &<br>
<br>
<br>
#!/bin/sh<br>
if (grep dhcp /etc/hostname.sis0) then<br>
while true; do<br>
if (ps -aux | grep dhclient | grep -v grep) then<br>
echo "ok.."<br>
else<br>
echo "down, launching dhclient.."<br>
dhclient sis0<br>
fi<br>
sleep 10<br>
done<br>
fi<br>
<br>

I'm running flashboot 4.1 on a Soekris 4801-50.<br>
<br>
sis0 is configured with dhcp and it work if the interface is connected
during boot. If the interface is disconnected during boot the interface
will never recover after I connect it.<br>
<br>
I tried to configure dhclient to retry in dhclient.conf but without
positive result.<br>
<br>
I have also tried to manually start dhclient in rc.more but dhclient
terminates without retrying any further.<br>
<br>
Is there any way to get dhclient keep running so I can connect the wire
after boot and make dhcp work without reboot?<br>
<br>
Best Regards rancor<br>
