[Voyage-linux] Does the DHCP client ever retry?

[Robert Rawlins - Think Blue]

Yeah Jon this is something I'd be keen to understand as well. I have clients
that get booted without a network connection and then when we need to
perform maintenance we connect it to the network however at present we have
to reboot the system as the system doesn't attempt to lease an IP when the
cable is connected.

I'd be interested to get this working.

Subject: [Voyage-linux] Does the DHCP client ever retry?

I have been testing the case where the computer boots without having a 
valid network connection which is restored at some point afterward.  I 
have noticed in this case that, after several retries, the DHCP client 
gives up while booting is taking place.  This is expected.  The problem 
is that I don't see it ever attempt to reconfigure again.  Is there a 
way to make this happen?
