Description Ludwig Nussel 2006-01-16 10:30:26 UTC 
While browsing smpppd code I noticed the ugly smpppd-dhcp hack that blindly kills and starts a dhcpcd with fixed options on an interface after setting a new essid. What about integrating renewing a lease into ifup instead? One just needs to send SIGALRM to dhcpcd resp do nothing if the interface has a static ip. The attached quick hack works for me after symlinking ifrenew -> ifup and ifrenew-dhcp -> ifup-dhcp.

I added it to sysconfig package. Please check it properly.

(Stefan, sorry if you did duplicate work today. I was very busy and did not manage it properly. Please also have a look at this patch).

This still needs documentation.

thanks Stefan for the manpage patch. is in svn.

since smpppd does now use ifrenew, we can close this bug.
