Hi,

Try switching Off both '-zeroconf -vram'.
=46rom the dhcpcd-3.2.3 elog:
elog> * ZeroConf support enabled
elog> * DUID support enabled
elog> * You have installed dhcpcd with zeroconf support.
elog> * This means that it will always obtain an IP address even if no

configuration.
elog> * This behaviour can be controlled with the -L flag.
elog> * See the dhcpcd man page for more details.
elog> * You have installed dhcpcd with DUID support.
elog> * This means that we will generate a DUID in
/var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd.duid
