NetworkManager Zeroconf



Hello,

I have the following problem on Debian 5:
* I have a router that reboots longer than 45 seconds
* When router is rebooted, the link goes down and then up again
* When the link goes up, Debian tries to do DHCPDISCOVER
* However, as the DHCP server (integrated into the router) is still starting up, no reply comes in 45 seconds
* At this point NetworkManager decides to stop doing DHCP and switches to Zeroconf (see the log below).

Question: how to make NetworkManager to try doing DHCP indefinitely?

Thank You for Your answers!
