[openbeosnetteam] Adventures with DHCP

I've been trying to port ISC DHCP to our stack. However, I've run into
a few problems with ifconfig. Specifically, ifconfig doesn't allow you
to change any settings of an already configured interface and doesn't
allow you to set the broadcast address, nor does it allow setting the
netmask to 0.0.0.0. This is essential for dhclient to function
properly.
It's trying to do this:
ifconfig <interface> inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 broadcast
255.255.255.255 up
Which fails, with results you can observe on your own machine.

isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise yours and theirs.
