Support for additional DHCP clients is now easy to add.
Just a quick question: are there any plans to use networkd as a DHCP backend? Yes, it is config-file-driven, but one can probably generate the .network files in /run on the fly...
This sounds like pointless masturbation. Just use networkd directly.
That's what I originally thought, and (in a nutshell) this is what I am currently using. However, networkd config is based on an interface name, not a profile. Hence there are special cases when e.g. 2 wireless networks use different settings (dynamic/static IP, different DNS, etc.). In these scenarios one needs wpa_actiond. As long as the correct profile is selected, one can make use of networkd instead of dhcpcd. Best, -- Leonid Isaev GPG key fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D
