["David Enderson" <DEnderson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your kind words, Andrew.

In Philippe's reply to my original email to him, he said that he would
like to see DHCP support completed and bug tested by year end.  I
believe I can meet this timeline.  On openbeos.org, under DHCP support,
you have this:

- DHCP protocol module
- dhconfig command tool to query and enable/disable DHCP on an interface
basis

What I was thinking is that the easiest and most logical first step
would be for me to first get a command-line tool working that would
query a DHCP server and set the local IP.  That would ease me into the
process and then after that I could focus on getting the details of the
protocol supported and integrating it into the rest of the networking
system.

Do you all think that plan would work?
