Yes, I'm sure about that, but it's not relevant because I missed the switch from talking about the DHCP server, with its dhcpd.conf, that needs to serve the mobiles, and the dhcp`c'd.conf when you introduced it. I agree, since dhcpcd is running then use its dhcpcd.conf to configure the static interface.
