Follow-up Comment #3, task #10446 (project lwip):
Simon, if the user specifies AutoIP with fallback to a user-defined IP
address, the probing will still take place at this user-defined address. If
there is a conflict, autoip_restart will increment this address and try again.
I don't mind this as it prevents a potential IP address conflict.
OTOH, we could simply see that there is fallback to a static address, set the
netif IP address to the user-defined fallback and use dhcp_inform and be done
with it. Naturally devices configured to the same fallback IP address will
conflict if both appear on a network.
I have it working with conflict avoidance and can prepare a patch unless you
prefer fallback to static can have conflicts.
