Hi!

I have found NM switching DHCP address quite frequently, which is pretty
annoying as this happens on embedded board that has only internet access
available. I read from web that you have borrowed Connman internal DHCP
client to your latest releases. I hope you have also adopted Connman
convention also for this addressing as I never experienced this feature
with Connman. DHCP address assigned first time never changed. I found also
a lead from web telling that this problem could be caused from corrupted
initial time to be cured with RTC. In fact I do have RTC, but it does not
have proper battery back-up - just a supercap to keep time over relatively
short break. Also there is bug in current CPU versions stopping RTC clock
when CPU power is down.

If this problem is an initial time issue together with lease information
stored in /var/lib/NetworkManager/, would it be possible to work this
problem out by ignoring timestamp if the current time is less than in
timestamp stored in above directory? Could this not be done relatively
easily?

Thanks,
Matti
