Detailed Description

DHCP client.

 *
 * $Log$
 * Revision 1.27  2009/02/13 14:52:05  haraldkipp
 * Include memdebug.h for heap management debugging support.
 *
 * Revision 1.26  2009/02/06 15:37:40  haraldkipp
 * Added stack space multiplier and addend. Adjusted stack space.
 *
 * Revision 1.25  2009/01/17 11:26:52  haraldkipp
 * Getting rid of two remaining BSD types in favor of stdint.
 * Replaced 'u_int' by 'unsinged int' and 'uptr_t' by 'uintptr_t'.
 *
 * Revision 1.24  2008/10/05 16:46:15  haraldkipp
 * Added missing attributes 'packed'. This may fix a problem with
 * different ARM compiler optimization settings.
 *
 * Revision 1.23  2008/08/11 07:00:34  haraldkipp
 * BSD types replaced by stdint types (feature request #1282721).
 *
 * Revision 1.22  2006/08/01 07:38:41  haraldkipp
 * DHCP client failed because of alignment errors. Removed the dispensable
 * 'packed' attribute from the dyn_cfg structure.
 *
 * Revision 1.21  2006/01/23 19:52:10  haraldkipp
 * Added required typecasts before left shift.
 *
 * Revision 1.20  2006/01/23 17:35:54  haraldkipp
 * BOOTP and DYNCFG structures must be packed.
 * Fixed memory alignment bug, which retrieved wrong values from DHCP options.
 *
 * Revision 1.19  2005/08/02 17:47:04  haraldkipp
 * Major API documentation update.
 *
 * Revision 1.18  2005/04/05 17:44:57  haraldkipp
 * Made stack space configurable.
 *
 * Revision 1.17  2005/03/28 18:26:59  mrjones4u
 * Fixed non-release bug in DCHP client
 *
 * Revision 1.16  2005/02/03 14:33:56  haraldkipp
 * Several bug fixes and enhancements. The most important fix will
 * avoid hanging, when Ethernut is reset while ICMP pings are
 * received. A large number of changes make the client to follow
 * RFC 2131 more closely, like maintaining renewal and rebind time.
 * Two new API calls, NutDhcpStatus() and NutDhcpError(), allow
 * to query the current status of the DHCP client. The previously
 * introduced API call NutDhcpIsConfigured() has been marked
 * deprecated. Another problem was with timeout, because the client
 * continued negotiation with the server after the timeout time
 * given in the API called elapsed. Now all internal timeouts are
 * adjusted to the API timeout. Furthermore the previous version
 * let the client continue on fatal errors like UDP receive or UDP
 * broadcast failures. Now the client stops on such errors and
 * informs the caller. Finally the documentation has been enhanced.
 *
 * Revision 1.15  2004/12/31 10:51:40  drsung
 * Bugfixes from Michel Hendriks applied:
 * Allocate empty dyncfg's to prevent freeing twice of domain/hostname
 * Clear pointer after ReleaseDynCfg to prevent freeing twice
 * Make sure SelectOffer is never called with 0 offers
 * When falling back from rebooting to selecting, clear
 * the received ip address so NutDhcpIfConfig does not
 * assume it has been configured properly
 *
 * Revision 1.14  2004/04/15 07:16:47  drsung
 * Now it works... :-/
 *
 * Revision 1.13  2004/04/15 07:11:50  drsung
 * Added hostname support to NutDHCPDiscover
 *
 * Revision 1.12  2004/03/18 11:24:01  haraldkipp
 * Deprecated functions removed
 *
 * Revision 1.11  2004/03/03 17:53:28  drsung
 * Support for new field 'hostname' in structure confos added.
 *
 * Revision 1.10  2004/02/25 16:34:32  haraldkipp
 * New API added to relinguish the DHCP lease. Collecting more
 * than one offer is now disabled, if the application sets timeout
 * below three times of MAX_DHCP_WAIT (5 seconds). The lease renewal
 * will now start when 3/4 has elapsed, opposed to 1/2 used previously.
 * Finally the DHCP thread will sleep as long as possible, while the
 * previous version woke up every ten seconds.
 *
 * Revision 1.9  2004/02/02 18:54:43  drsung
 * gateway ip address was not set, if static network configuration from EEPROM is used.
 *
 * Revision 1.8  2004/01/14 17:50:41  drsung
 * Fix for Win2k DHCP server applied. Thanks to Damian Slee
 *
 * Revision 1.7  2003/11/03 16:22:59  haraldkipp
 * Renewal disabled if lease time is set to zero
 *
 * Revision 1.6  2003/10/13 10:18:08  haraldkipp
 * Using new seconds counter
 *
 * Revision 1.5  2003/08/07 09:09:08  haraldkipp
 * Redesign to follow RFC 2131 more closely.
 *
 * Revision 1.4  2003/07/20 18:25:40  haraldkipp

 * Removed default MAC address and let the caller have a second chance.
 *

 * Thanks to Tomohiro Haraikawa.
 *
