Package: dhcpcd Version: 1:3.0.17-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch With powertop, Keith Packard found a bug in dhcpcd and provide a patch. Please include it, it save a lot a battery life. May the bug should be reported upstream but I do not found the mail adress of the BTS of DHCPCD.
Here is the original description (http://www.linuxpowertop.org/known.php#dhcdbd) dhcdbd is a program that connects the DHCP client of the OS to the DBUS gnome program. dhcdbd implements it's own defered event mechanism and uses high frequency polling to handle these events, rather than sleeping until the first planned event happens.
