Current Behavior

The default logging by the DHCP client (script) is quite verbose:

...
Aug 14 17:06:33 ix-00-00-00 last message buffered 9 times
Aug 14 17:06:36 ix-00-00-00 udhcpc[4734]: action leasefail
Aug 14 17:06:46 ix-00-00-00 udhcpc[4365]: broadcasting discover 
Aug 14 17:07:13 ix-00-00-00 last message buffered 9 times
Aug 14 17:07:16 ix-00-00-00 udhcpc[4737]: action leasefail
Aug 14 17:07:26 ix-00-00-00 udhcpc[4365]: broadcasting discover 
...

There's also no mention in the above log messages which interface is having problems.

Expected Behavior

  1. Maybe retry less often?
  2. Different log level?
  3. Expand relevant log messages with interface name

Let's discuss!
