Greeting,

I'm running gentoo with openrc using dhcpcd, I have an tap interface connected to a vm which provides dhcp services.
I've encountering an issue were dhcpcd is running but I get no ip. restarting the service results with the ip allocation.
assuming there is no bug in openrc, I assume that either dhcpcd doesn't handles well the change of the tap from off to on or dhcpcd doesn't wait enough time for the dhcp server on guest to start.

is there any config option in dhcpcd that can assists me in solving this issue?

Thanks,

Dagg.
