It counts down 10 seconds, tells me dhcp failed, if I retry, it > immediatly succeeds. While netcfg presents the retry question the dhcp client is still running in the background. If it gets a lease in the meantime, the retry will exit immediatly and succeed. So this is the expected behaviour. If we kill the client after 10s we risk that we will never get a lease if the server needs more than 10s to respond. gaudenz
