 * Revision 1.7  2005/02/03 14:34:05  haraldkipp
 * Several bug fixes and enhancements. The most important fix will
 * avoid hanging, when Ethernut is reset while ICMP pings are
 * received. A large number of changes make the client to follow
 * RFC 2131 more closely, like maintaining renewal and rebind time.
 * Two new API calls, NutDhcpStatus() and NutDhcpError(), allow
 * to query the current status of the DHCP client. The previously
 * introduced API call NutDhcpIsConfigured() has been marked
 * deprecated. Another problem was with timeout, because the client
 * continued negotiation with the server after the timeout time
 * given in the API called elapsed. Now all internal timeouts are
 * adjusted to the API timeout. Furthermore the previous version
 * let the client continue on fatal errors like UDP receive or UDP
 * broadcast failures. Now the client stops on such errors and
 * informs the caller. Finally the documentation has been enhanced.

#define	DHCPST_RENEWING
	DHCP state: Renewing.
#define	DHCPST_REBINDING
	DHCP state: Rebinding.
#define	DHCPST_INFORMING
	DHCP state: Informing.
#define	DHCPST_RELEASING

DHCP Error Codes
Applications can request the lastest error code of the DHCP client by calling NutDhcpError().
#define	DHCPERR_TIMEOUT
	DHCP timeout error.
#define	DHCPERR_NOMAC
	DHCP MAC error.
