- DHCP Advanced Options:
- CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
-
- A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
- receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
- This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
- respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
- AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
- to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
- DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
- least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
- that one of the retries will be successful but note that
- the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
- this delay.

- Link-local IP address negotiation:
Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
