vexpress: ECM does not set DNS address

[Tixy (Jon Medhurst)]

Bug #894502 added the Ethernet Configuration Manager to ICS however, on vexpress at least, this doesn't set the DNS address after it performs a DHCP lookup.

The attached logcat output shows that DHCP gets a DNS address (see line with "DHCP request succeeded").
However "getprop net.dns1" gives a blank like, and domain names can't be resolved with ping, or in the Browser.

It works on my side with build landing-snowball 133, let's see what happens when Abhishek tests it.

[Abhishek Paliwal (abhishek-paliwal)]

Observation on build : https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/landing-snowball/#build=133:
After bootup with ethernet cable connected following are the observations:

1. Ethernet interface is DOWN(cheked via netcfg command) and device do not get IP - randomly observed (~1/10 times)

2. Ethernet interface is UP (cheked via netcfg command) but device gets IP in different range than expected ,
Expected is 192.168.1.xx but device gets ip 192.168.0.xx - Now browsing does not work
Tried to reassign the ip via command - "netcfg eth0 dhcp" - now device gets ip in range 192.168.1.xx - Still browsing does not work
Now manually setting for dns is done via " setprop net.dns1 8.8.4.4" - Now browsing works.(can open google.com)

Behavior 2 is pretty consistent on my setup . Ethernet settings in settings menu are not changed(defalt via dhcp)

So the issue - "Unable to browse after bootup with ethernet cable connected" still remains valid. If this is the correct bug-id to track this issue I suggest to keep this issue open.
