Is it possible that your DHCP server isn't sending it? It seems like
the code isn't changed.

Joe
Thanks, you gave me an idea.

I fired up wireshark
See attached.

Old release: Before Kconfig work options requested (many) including DNS server address

After: No options

I see no where in u-boot to set DHCP options. 

Kconfig is a good idea. HOWEVER, the previous defaults should be selected as the base set. 
Choosing The NULL set is a very unfriendly choice.

What do we do to resolve this?
