Hi there!

I'm having trouble configuring dhcpcd to use arping and assign a static 
ip address depeding on which profile matches. This is the relevant part 
of my configuration:

interface bond0
arping 192.168.1.1 192.168.3.1

profile 00:11:22:33:44:55
static ip_address=192.168.1.2/24
static routers=192.168.1.1
static domain_name_servers=208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 192.168.1.1

profile 55:44:33:22:11:00
static ip_address=192.168.3.70/24
static routers=192.168.3.1
static domain_name_servers=208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 192.168.3.1

This does almost work as expected, in that it selects the correct 
profile when I'm connected to the router that has the matching MAC 
address. However it only ever works for the first IP that is listed in 
the "arping"-line

So when 192.168.1.1 is first in line, it will load the 00:11:22:33:44:55 
profile when I'm connected to that router, but it won't load the 
55:44:33:22:11:00 profile when I'm connected to the other router.

When I try to connect to the 55:44:33:22:11:00 router with the above 
configuration, it will fall back to acquiring a lease through DHCP after 
sending ARP probes for the first profile's MAC:

If is do a switcheroo and change the "arping"-line to read: "arping 
192.168.3.1 192.168.1.1", it works. However it then won't work for the 
other router.

The example in the manpage suggests to use the router's IP address in 
the "profile" line instead of using the MAC. I tried that and it doesn't 
work at all. It just always falls back to using DHCP.

Am I missing something here? Any help is appreciated!

Thank you,
