Description:

When netcfg2 configures my EAP-TLS WiFi network, I can see two problems:
1) dhcpcd is _not_ running, although the lease time is _not_ infinite.
2) MTU information from DHCP is ignored.

When I launch wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd manually, dhcpcd stays running just as expected and sets the MTU correctly. That makes me think netcfg2 either adds some extra arguments to dhcpcd or kills it.

Additional info:

* package version(s)

The bad one: 2.1.1-1
The previous version worked perfectly. There were no such problems.

Steps to reproduce:

Try to connect to a network with non-standard MTU (such as WiFi) and with DHCP lease time lower than infinity. If I am not mistaken, you should see that dhcpcd is not running and MTU does not change.
This task depends upon
