[PATCH] ipconfig dhcp mtu option support

[PATCH] ipconfig dhcp mtu option support

[Hans-Peter Jansen]

Hi,

while experimenting with jumbo frames in a diskless setup, I came
across the problem to enable them properly on the client. This is 
due to missing support for the dhcp interface-mtu option in ipconfig.

It took me this patch to make them work. Note, that I ommited the
bootp_init_ext, so this one is limited to dhcp by now... While at
it, I've cleaned up the ifreq struct usage a bit.

If you're going to test this, please let me know, if it __works__ 
for you, too, since I plan to send it to Marcelo, when 'enough' 
positives arrived here.

BTW, anybody willing to apply and test this on 2.5?

Enjoy,
Pete

P.S.: I'm using e1000 (Intel Pro/1000 MT Desktop) GB NICs here.
