[En-Nut-Discussion] Fwd: Problem with NutDhcpClient thread (\pro\dhcpc.c)

[ennut at thezachariasgroup.com]

   Andreas,
  My solution was to create a separate thread to execute 
NutDhcpIfConfig() until configured, sleeping 60 seconds between 
tries. A global flag is set after properly configured.
BTW: This same thread handles registering the device and querying up 
to ten time servers in a similar manner.
