BusyBox udhcpc times out too quickly

Hi,

I have seen a recurring problem where an Alpine device which uses DHCP does not get a lease, simply because udhcpc times out and gives up too quickly. In all cases, changing to dhcpcd and adding “timeout 0” to dhcpcd.conf has fixed the problem.

Could the timeout period for udhcpc be extended? Or can it be made to retry repeatedly (with a wait between each attempt)?
