We allowed a delay only for few DHCP states. As a result, DHCP requests would timeout immediately after sending the initial discover, and moreover the code would then switch to "renew" state, trying to renew without an assigned address. The result is a quick succession of DISCOVER and empty REQUEST messages. Eventually, the server could send us an OFFER as reply to our DISCOVER, unless it decided that the empty REQUEST means "I'm requesting from another server", which would lead it to cancelling its lease. This would only work by luck on unbusy networks unlike the one I'm using today.

Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
See ReadMe.Compiling.
Contributing
Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
