Re: [lwip-users] DHCP and Ethernet disconnection

[Vinu Gopalakrishnan]

Hi  Giuseppe,

You have to enable your  PHY interrupt and on interrupt , read the PHY registers and verify that the physical link is down. Then intimate the stack that link has gone down using the  netif_set_link_down. Then can dhcp_network_changed().

It does, but you will have to tell lwIP that network changed if you
don't want to wait for the next lease update.

See netif_set_link_down() / netif_set_link_up() to retrigger DHCP start.
