Hello Ken,
Your last patch doesn't apply to 5.4-Stable as is, some hunks required a
bit of manual code modifications, but finally... it worked!
Now the i/f (both the physical eth and the virtual trunk) are correctly
configured after having acquired the fallback lease.
If you need to experiment with other modifications/adjustments, please
let me know.
Great achievement, in my opinion! Thanks a lot for your support,
kindness and patience.
Cheers
