[Commotion-dev] Preventing Commotion nodes from handing out DHCP?

[Dan Staples]

Hi Preston,

To prevent these nodes from ever giving out DHCP leases, forever and for
all time, it should be enough to remove DNSMasq ("opkg remove dnsmasq"),
since that is the program that hands out DHCP leases. But then it can
still request/receive DHCP leases. Best of luck tomorrow!
