Hi all!

I've deinstalled dnsmasq and disabled S50dnsmasq but after every bootup I have a new udhcpc process. Why? I can't find who starts udhcpc. If I search I'll found one line with udhcpc...

root@OpenWrt:/etc/init.d# cat * | grep udhcpc
udhcpc -n -q -R -s /bin/true -i $ifname >&- || {

That's the same as...

root@OpenWrt:/etc/init.d# cat S50dnsmasq | grep udhcpc
udhcpc -n -q -R -s /bin/true -i $ifname >&- || {

And S50dnsmasq is disabled. So, who starts udhcpc? Where can I disable it?

Thanks!

If you set wan_proto="static" and "ifup wan" or reboot than udhcpc (a DHCP client) is gone.

The discussion might have continued from here.
