Details:

Hello,
 
DHCP implementation seems to have minor bug. If DHCP server sends OFFER
without Server Identifier-field, LwIP stops sending DISCOVER messages (one
fieldbus conformance tester does this).
 
I didn't check RFC what actually should be done in this case, but I think that
it should  at least continue sending DISCOVERY messages.

In code before dhcp.c: dhcp_handle_offer() is called,  DHCP timer is stopped
(dhcp->request_timeout = 0;), then
dhcp_handle_offer() just prints error if it rejects the OFFER.

We are still using 1.4.1 but master seems to have identical code for
dhcp_handle_offer().

br,
Esa Hill
