2022-10-04: An experimental DHCP client with a work-around for poorly behaved DHCP servers is available.


Some DHCP servers are not sending a HOSTNAME as a DHCP option, even if they honor the requested HOSTNAME. This leads mTCP to delete the HOSTNAME line in the configuration file, as it looks like the requested HOSTNAME was rejected and no HOSTNAME was assigned.

I've posted a new DHCP client with a work-around. I can't fix the broken DHCP servers, but at least the HOSTNAME line won't be deleted from the configuration file when this happens.
