Re: [Thinstation-general] DHCP and DNS reverse lookup

[Trevor B. <tre...@us...>]

Francis,

I seem to recall that 2.2.2 was sent out with a bug (the -H patch was
incorrectly applied). Can't find the patch on sf (but I have it in my
versions), so will need to re-issue.

PS. The patch is in the restart_dhcp subroutine in the
packages/base/etc/thinstation.functions script. 
udhcpc -n -i $DEVICE -H $1 -C -s /etc/init.d/network_script
