[solved] Re: replace udhcpc

[Neuer User <auslands-kv@gmx.de>]

Found a very simple solution to the original problem (after reading
through the busybox source code). Just add this small recipe to your
layer, and udhcpc will fork in to the background to gain the IP as soon
as the network is available:

diff --git a/recipes-core/busybox/busybox_%.bbappend
b/recipes-core/busybox/busybox_%.bbappend
new file mode 100644
