Details

Description: Upon receipt over wifi of an are-you-there message from a router, a new dhcpcd is spawned to renegotiate the lease, even though the lease is still valid, and any/all old dhcpcd(s) are left running. This occurs only if ethernet is also in use, routed with higher priority, so that wifi generates no traffic over a period of 20 minutes.

Additional info:
* hardware: Cubox-i4pro (iMX6 ARM Cortex-9) with Broadcom 4329/4330 wifi, Motorola 3347 modem/router
* package version(s): wpa_actiond 1.4-2, dhcpcd 6.3.2
* config and/or log files etc.: journalctl (attached)

Steps to reproduce:
systemctl start netctl-ifplugd@eth0
systemctl start netctl-auto@wlan0
journalctl -b -f --no-tail
Wait up to 20 minutes (with no wifi traffic) for an are-you-there message from the router.
pgrep -l dhcpcd (notice more and more new processes)
This task depends upon

Does this happen on Arch Linux? Arch Linux does not support ARM processors, Arch Linux ARM is a totally separate distribution.

I don't have Arch on an Intel box. Sorry to have bothered you.

No Arch Linux ARM devs ever said to open a bug here.

kmihelich, that was my first thought, too, but on this one, Arch IS upstream.

Quite right, Kevin, you didn't. I must have misunderstood someone else.
