<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">All,<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I have patched the 1.00 version of BusyBox's DHCP Client to add the option to Daemonize at start. I took a quick look at the 1.6 version of BusyBox and it looks like the change could be easily applied to it. I unfortunately do not use 1.6 and do not have time to patch it myself.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>The patch simply adds a "-B" option which will cause the udhcpc program to background immediately. It does NOT replace the "-b" which causes udhcpc to background after it attempts to get a lease. I added it so I do not have to block waiting for the first lease attempt, which can take a decent amount of time if there is no DHCP server to contact.<BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR></DIV><DIV>John T.
