[meta-freescale] DHCP IP address is never obtained if powering up without network connected

[Tarek El-Sherbiny]

Hi Bob,

I mean from /etc/network/interfaces. I'm working with eth0

cat /etc/network/interfaces

# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# Wireless interfaces
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
        wireless_mode managed
        wireless_essid any
        wpa-driver wext
        wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

# Wired interface
 auto eth0
 iface eth0 inet dhcp
# iface eth0 inet static
#   address 192.168.0.50
#   netmask 255.255.255.0
#   gateway 192.168.0.1


I Have dhcp package:
# rpm -qa | grep dhcp
busybox-udhcpc-1.21.1-r0.cortexa9hf_vfp_neon
dhcp-client-4.2.5+P1-r1.cortexa9hf_vfp_neon

And ifupdown:
# rpm -qa | grep ifupdown
init-ifupdown-1.0-r4.cortexa9hf_vfp_neon


dhcp client should obtain ip once I plug-in the cable, right?
