Subject: [PATCH 2.6] ipconfig accepts any DHCPACK
Date: Tue, 07 Sep 2004 14:46:14 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <413E2C26.5040108@pantasys.com> (raw)

Hi David,

I was playing around with using ipconfig to initialise a bunch of 
systems and it turns out that the ipconfig code doesn't check to see 
whether the ACK is for it or another system. I've just added a simple 
check to compare the hardware address of the device to the one in the 
packet.
