Re: dnsmasq dhcp failure

Hi Folks

News on the dhcp front

As reported before my dnsmasq installation would not hand out leases to 
my winblows 10 over Wifi, well through a bridged configuration and an 
external AP. Funny enough Android could get an address.

It may be noted that the system is _very_ old, a WRAP with really little 
memory.

Also I found that for a certain time dhcp would run fine after system 
boot. After some time it just degenerated.

Now I disabled dhcp in dnsmasq and installed the good old isc-dhcpserver 
aka dhcpd, configured it accordingly and bingo, my win10 system gets its 
address reliably and my Android system gets it _fast_.

I have seen this behaviour only on old systems with _very_ little 
memory, I tend to still use them.

For the moment this configuration appears to be stable, but time will tell.

cheers
