Description
Hi,
I decided to connect a TP-Link TL-WR802N V4 travel router in client mode to the NanoKVM-Cube Full, thinking that this would make the device more mobile and I wouldn't have to lay an additional patch cord, for example.
A short patch cord between the router and NanoKVM and a short microUSB cable connected to 5V and GND from UART. The router is connected to my WiFi network.
The problem, however, is that tplink boots longer than NanoKVM and on Oled I get an IP from fallback 192.168.0.100, the router starts to provide an address from DHCP, it disappears from Oled for a moment and 192.168.0.100 reappears, instead of the correct address, which was actually set and retrieved because NanoKVM is available and working properly.
In order for the address on the OLED to correct itself, I have to turn the display off and on or disconnect and reconnect the RJ45, or as a last resort, type
killall udhcpc
udhcpc -i eth0
Unfortunately, none of these solutions please me because they require manual work, and if the device is in a hard-to-reach place, it will be problematic to restart it or ask someone for the IP address from the screen.
Any ideas on how to force the display to refresh this address in line with what the DHCP actually provided? I don't want to throw in any tasks that will burden the memory or processor by checking over and over again if the IP address differs from the one in fallback.
