Re: build_bootp_record() support dns server address

Hi, all;

I would like to hear your advice about my idea regarding init_all_network_interfaces().

When ip address is staticaly set (i.e. CYGHWR_NET_DRIVER_ETHX_BOOTP is undefined), init_net() doesn't call cyg_dns_res_init(). So I think it is better to modify build_bootp_record() to have the dns server address like in the following:

build_bootp_record(struct bootp *bp,
const char *if_name,
const char *addrs_ip,
const char *addrs_netmask,
const char *addrs_broadcast,
const char *addrs_gateway,
const char *addrs_server,
const char *addrs_dns_server); <---

Also the dns server address might be added in cdl script like other addresses.
The attachment is my patch for network_support.c for reference.
Looks pretty reasonable to me. All that remains is to add the CDL option for CYGHWR_NET_DRIVER_ETH1_ADDRS_DNS_SERVER, write a ChangeLog entry and submit it to <ecos-patches@sources.redhat.com> and I'll commit it for you.
