In the background a new task dedicated to the dhcp client is created and then the dhcp client takes over this task. This works fine, we can get IP form the dhcp server and then take part in network communication based on IPv4. Problem: The dhcp client cannot be stopped any time. Any shell commands will never reach the dhcpcd task, but rather it will instantiate a new dhcpd task which will take over the current task. E.g: in rtems console if you enter dhcpd -x, instead of killing the dhcpcd task a new dhcpcd task will be created which will run from the console. This means that the console cannot be used anymore. There seems to be noway to communicate with the already created dhcpcd task. I took a look over the dhcpcd in libbsd code and some of the features are turned off. Can someone give more details regarding this ? " defect closed normal 6.1 network/libbsd 6 normal wontfix
