- "when I have an address": you can register a callback with
netif_set_status_callback() that gets called when the netif is set up or down. 
Since DHCP sets it to 'up' after getting an address, is this what you want?
- "the network lead is disconnected": you can register a callback with 
netif_set_link_callback(), but for this callback to work, your netif driver 
needs to notify lwIP of link state changes by calling
netif_set_link_up() / netif_set_link_down().
- "if there is an error getting an address": I'm not sure how to do
that: DHCP just keeps on trying. Maybe you can just use a timeout and do 
something if you didn't get an address X seconds after the link went from 
'down' to 'up'?
