Peter, can you give some more details please, maybe some hints on how to setup the test environment / dhcp server? Looking at the dhcp client code in busybox - either current 1.20 or squeeze 1.17 version, I don't see where it might not work. The /32 (255.255.255.255) netmask should Just Work. So in order to do something with this bugreport (as opposed to just forgetting about it entirely), I need some reproducer/verifier...
