Hi Roy,

I'm experimenting with libdhcpcd to manage the configuration and get
update on interfaces status.

I noticed a weird behavior: when switching from static to dhcp on an
interface which is using a static fallbcak profile, the profile gets
dropped along with the static settings.

Let me clarify this with an example:


Initial settings file:

interface eth1
static ip_address=192.201.13.2/24
static routers=192.201.13.1
fallback static-eth1

profile static-eth1
static ip_address=192.168.3.31/24
static routers=192.168.3.1


Settings file after switching eth1 interface to DHCP using libdhcpcd:

interface eth1
fallback static-eth1
profile static-eth1


Conclusion is that anything that is static and linked to eth1 gets dropped. However I think the fallback profile should have been preserved.

Thanks
Maxime
