DHCP is connection-less.

Quite some time ago that we've tested the lease time renewal. But there
hadn't been many changes in this area, so it should still work.

We prefer to use DHCP and it works very well. Umhh... almost, except...

Depending on the compiler/linker version, the stack space that is
allocated for the DHCP client may be too small.

Change to ethernut-x.y/nutbld, add

HWDEF+=-DNUT_THREAD_DHCPSTACK=512

to UserConf.mk and run

 make clean all install

I assume, that your toolchain binaries are reachable from the PATH
environment.
