dhcpcd-5.1.2 has been released with the following changes:
- ClientID is now reported when interface starts
-w,--wait forcesdhcpcd to wait until an interface gets a lease or times out- 50-ypbind hook added for BSD style NIS
- Ensure DHCP socket is open when sending a DECLINE
- Uses new hwaddr if existing interface is downed and then changed.
- No longer works on firewire interfaces by default.
dhcpcd-5.1.2 has a new behaviour change- when starting up and at least
1 interface has a carrier then it tries to get a lease or times out. It
still daemonises regardless. This, along with the -b and -w flags allows
total control over the desired behaviour of dhcpcd.
