Why not use dhcpcd? It's a lot heavier than udhcpcd, but comes with link detection and IPV4LL (aka zeroconf, aka link local address) management and a host of other features. It supports NOMMU systems and comes in at around 65k on i386 built -O2 not stripped, so I imagine it gets much smaller with -Os and stripped. http://roy.marples.name/projects/dhcpcd Thanks Roy
