[lwip-devel] [task #10446] DHCP extensions for AutoIP

[Bill Auerbach]

Follow-up Comment #2, task #10446 (project lwip):

I can do the part of indicating the address is an AutoIP address. I did the
fallback in my application, but it would be nice if there was a static address
for AutoIP to fallback to.  I can add that because it would be nice for it to
be autonomous.  I'll do both items.

I've had to do still more in my application.  When a static IP address is
set, I call dhcp_inform.  I think with LWIP_DHCP being 1 that netif_set_ipaddr
should do this internally. I know it does a gratuitous ARP, but isn't a DHCP
INFORM good etiquette as well when setting a static IP address?  In fact, I
didn't check but it might be required.
