[OpenWrt-Devel] WAN dhcp client doesnt recognize unplugged cable and doesnt request new IP on replugged

[Jakub Jančo]

No I havent, I thought it is "Bring on boot" but it is another option. So
my problem persist.
config interface 'wan'
    option ifname 'eth0'
    option proto 'dhcp'
    option metric '1'

config interface 'wan6'
    option ifname '@wan'
    option proto 'dhcpv6'

This is my wan config, and after turn off and on lan port on remote site,
no logs entries.
