Package: dhcp
Version: 2.0pl5-19.1
Severity: important
using a transportable router system with multiple eth adapters (wired and
wireless) means that the upstream (WAN) adapter is using dhcp-client to obtain
an IP address/subnet in many "locations". Since the definition of the
upstream eth subnet is hardcoded into the dhcpd.conf file (with no
range configured), if the upstream subnet changes then dhcp fails to start
rendering the downstream network dead too.
This means that a client device attached to the downstream (LAN) obtains
no automatic IP address, and cannot be used to reconfigure the
transportable router unless the client is hacked to a fixed IP.
dhcp needs to be configurable to "ignore" specific eth adapters,
entirely.
