Short Description

This program allows you to set up the stack automatically with the IP's it receives from a DHCP server. Link-local is also supported and is used when no DHCP server is available. The program will run in background and output information to the debug board.

Extra info

Since this program is a servive (that's why it has an @ in the name), you can make it run when kolibrios boots so it will automattically setup your network connection on boot. To do so, do the following in kolibrios:

open AUTORUN.DAT with tinypad and add this line: /sys/@AUTODHCP <NO> 30 # Automated DHCP client by hidnplayr now, increment the number at the beginning of the file and save it.
