Yep I just nuked the reply I was writing too :).
I think the change was just wrong.
Or insufficient anyway - it changed one field and not the other.
If you look at it, the code now says "I'd like to request
address 0.0.0.0, please" - because it's using the DHCP_REQUEST
code. Actually, it should be using DHCP_DISCOVER which says
"please provide me with an address".
Aha, yes of course. And it should be probably be called dhcpDiscoverOption
which is one reason it seemed to be consistent at least.
Thanks for spotting!
