Ok, I'm all for it ;)
The colleagues from the LTS project (especially those guys using it on
EDUBUNTU) were replacing ipconfig with a small dhcpclient (udhcpcd or whatever)
I wonder if it's possible to find a common solution to replace ipconfig from
klibc with a sane dhcp client implementation which works.
If we could find some people interested in this work, I would love to help :)
