Please don't fix that. I sometimes move my laptop from one ethernet
socket to another. During the move I lose my DHCP-assigned IP address.

Would you mind if it was user configurable?

I do not want to lose my SSH sessions too.

Would you mind if the TCP retransmit timers were severely lowered upon reconnection so your TCP sessions started working quicker? Or you don't see this problem at all?
