Description Blackketter Dean 2009-04-11 20:37:14 UTC

As reported here:

DHCP shouldn't stop trying to get an address, the AutoIP selection should just let the user go on a little further.

Of course, in this case, without a routable IP address, then the user won't be able to download fw directly.

Now, if we let the user get that firmware from a local SC instance, then AutoIP should be valid.

Finally, if the user is on the DHCP failed screen, and the DHCP server works spontaneously, then they should be moved ahead automatically.
