Hi, I am deploying a Linux Network Stack. I am supposed to use a stable, fully featured, RFC compliant, small memory foot-print DHCP client for an embedded system. We had converged on udhcp for the client. But I have found that there is a DCHP client implemented in the Linux Kernel ( Version 2.2.x or later ). This I believe can be configured by choosing the "Kernel level autoconfiguration". I have however practically no documentation on the Kernel DHCP Client. I do not know how buggy it is, is it a fully featured DHCP client or is it just a boot level DHCP client used for remote booting etc. Can some body help me with this. I believe it is used only for the remote booting, with the documentation currently available to me. How correct am I? Can I replace the udhcp client with this one? How much of a change will I need to do for the replacement? I am totally confused.... Please help... Thanks and regards, Abdij
