Package: guessnet
Version: 0.36-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

I use guessnet with multiple profiles and ifupdown. One of them has a
dhcp configuration, the others are static profiles. Unfortunately, one
of that networks has a DHCP agent running, but I also have an IP address
reserved for my laptop.

What happens: on ifup, guessnet scans them all, and then it chooses the
DHCP connection (because the server answered). However, I want it to
choose the prefered profile with my special IP. That profile can be
detected without problems (it is detected correctly when I remove the
dhcp profile from interfaces list, but manuall changes are exactly the
problem that guessnet tries to solve). 

Changing timeout does not change anything. It waits N seconds, then does
a DHCP lookup and keeps that DHCP-assigned IP.

I think the DHCP scans should not be executed when any other check has
already been sucessfull.

Regards,
Eduard.
