Well, it works, and with the longer red icon as well.
But I'm not sure what you intend to achieve with the -ifconfig eth1 down
; ifconfig eth1 up-. I suspect that all it does is to delay -udhcp-'s
attempt to renew the lease. Hence, possibly, the red icon. Also bear in
mind that SqueezePlay only updates the icon every 5 seconds.

I was intending that this log should simply show it taking longer. But,
oh dear, udhcp didn't complete on this occasion ! I wasn't expecting
that. The red light stayed on for a long time ! But everything
apparently was working fine...
Five minutes later:
Turns out to have failed a "gateway" check, because no valid gateway:
Code:
--------------------
# cat /proc/net/route
Iface Destination Gateway Flags RefCnt Use Metric Mask
MTU Window IRTT
eth1 0001A8C0 00000000 0001 0 0 0
00FFFFFF 0 0 0
--------------------
But I don't know why. I guess -udhcp- was interrupted and never
finished.
I should have checked with -ip route-
A quick kick to -udhcp- (USR1 signal) seems to restore matters.
Gateway should be:
Code:
--------------------
# cat /proc/net/route
Iface Destination Gateway Flags RefCnt Use Metric Mask
MTU Window IRTT
eth1 0001A8C0 00000000 0001 0 0 0
00FFFFFF 0 0 0
eth1 00000000 FE01A8C0 0003 0 0 0
00000000 0 0 0
--------------------
Basically, this is all very intricate. Time for bed.
