Hi,

I am using busybox-1.13.1. ifupdown.c( line ~480 ) kills DHCP client after 
its start when EXTERNAL_DHCP feature is enabled. What is the purpose? If 
DHCP client is killed, it can't obtain new lease when the old one expired. 
In that case OS tries to use old IP address, but it has expired already.

There is completely different behaviour when EXTERNAL_DHCP is not set but 
APP_UDHCPC is enabled. DHCP client is not killed.
