[OpenWrt-Devel] Use DHCP by default on single port devices

Hi,

to make this work better, some companies are choosing the static fallback
IP address in the AutoIP range 169.254.x.x/16. At least Windows will fallback 
to this range if it does not find a DHCP server on this link; so it should at 
least possible to browse to the web gui and/or open a SSH connection...
without reconfiguring your Windows system.

I don't know whether this works out-of-the-box on Mac or usual Linux distros, 
too.

Regards,
Michael
