@JackOfAll,

On my Wandboard DHCP leases are being obtained before the chronyd or
ntpd have set the system clock, leading to rather comic DHCP lease
records such as the following:

Code:
--------------------
    
  lease {
  interface "wlan0";
  fixed-address 10.0.1.98;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
  option routers 10.0.1.1;
  option dhcp-lease-time 86400;
  option dhcp-message-type 5;
  option domain-name-servers 10.0.1.1;
  option dhcp-server-identifier 10.0.1.1;
  option domain-name "------.comcast.net.";
  renew 4 1970/01/01 11:45:28;
  rebind 4 1970/01/01 21:00:32;
  expire 5 1970/01/02 00:00:32;
  }
  
--------------------


It seems like one would need to have dhclient do its thing, then get a
time update from an NTP server, and then ask for an immediate renewal to
void out the 1970 lease dates which have already expired. I couldn't
figure out how to do this.

Anyway, my suspicion is that this is the main cause of DHCP
misbbehaviour on the Wandboard I've been seeing. Comments?
