Setting up the network, and setting up a network interface are really
different things. The interface is an IP {address, mask, broadcast}. The
network is default route and /etc/resolv.conf.

As this bug illustrates, setting both without the ability to separate them
is a flaw in DHCP. Realizing that this flaw won't be easily corrected, I'd
like to submit this patch for consideration as a compromise solution. It's
working well locally, and integrates well with real usage of Debian where
this problem could occur.

This patch is based off the default DHCP client script in Lenny.

Hi,
I'm trying to apply this patch on the current stable package, without success.
Which version did you started from ?
