From 4e1a8af28d56a4194cf3f17c69d9d21183246f3a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Novakovic Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2018 03:56:34 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ipconfig: BOOTP: Don't request IEN-116 name servers MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit When ipconfig is autoconfigured via BOOTP, the request packet initialised by ic_bootp_init_ext() allocates 8 bytes for tag 5 ("Name Server" [1, §3.7]), but tag 5 in the response isn't processed by ic_do_bootp_ext(). Instead, allocate the 8 bytes to tag 6 ("Domain Name Server" [1, §3.8]), which is processed by ic_do_bootp_ext(), and appears to have been the intended tag to request. This won't cause any breakage for existing users, as tag 5 responses provided by BOOTP servers weren't being processed anyway.
