Hi,
My device is connected to an access point and it is running on the valid ip which is given by the access point(dhcp is enabled in the access point).When connected access point is switched off,after few secs(dhcp daemon time out period - 30 secs) my device ip is changed to 0.0.0.0.I'm sure that the wifi interface is up.When the same test is done using eth0 interface,after cable pull out device ip remains same as before the cable pulling out.
Note dhcp deamon is ran using the below command
dhcpcd -h - -t 30 <WLAN interface>
when the daemon is ran with infinite time parameter,for same usecase IP is not changed to 0.0.0.0
dhcpcd -h - -t FFFFFFFF <wlan interface>
Kindly let me know why IP is changed to 0.0.0.0 in wireless mode when daemon is invoked for non-infinite time period.

Karthikeyan:
Your questions has to do with Linux - and Linux userspace - nothing about it is blackfin specific. It is most likely that you will have the same issue on x86 on debian.
Questions like that get dumped down to the bottom of the list - to be answered when there is avalible time.
If that isn't acceptable to you - you should hire a professional Linux developer.

i'd also point out that you seem to have already found a simple workaround ... use it
