This patch has been re-implemented after a suggestion on the mailing list was made by Isaac Dunham to use commandline options instead of compile-time options. |
Created attachment 5708 [details] Patch for tweaking the arpping. We're using busybox udhcpd on one of our embedded products. The DHCP client on the product is a OEM board with an ethernet port. Unfortunately this device has a particularly short timeout for the DHCP DISCOVER, which means that several DISCOVER messages are displayed in the log prior to the DHCP REQUEST/ACK. This patch adds the option to disable arpping altogether (caveat emptor), or to tune the timeout to an arbitrary value.
