Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ifupdown
In http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/lucid/ifupdown/lucid/annotate/head:/inet.defn line 84. The execution of udhcpc is always with -n: -n, --now Exit with failure if a lease cannot be obtained. So, on ifup [iface], if the network interface is not plugged in, the client will exit. No retry. This behavior is different than using dhclient3: # dhclient3 eth1 Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.1.3 Copyright 2004-2009 Internet Systems Consortium. All rights reserved.
