I know that this happens to me when I am connecting to an AP right at the edge of my range or one that is overloaded and the DHCP server is not responding quickly enough. Perhaps there is a config setting buried somewhere that increases the DHCP client timeout before if drops back to a link-local address. I did a bit of poking around on my device and it looks like a process called icd (Internet Connectivity Deamon) is responsible for setting everything up and it takes its instructions via dbus commands. You would have to get what magic incantation you send to icd to increase the the udhcpc client timeout or where the icd config file is from someone more informed than I. /Mike -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
