Sorry!!!
BootpCopyNetParams() gets called regardless of autoload!
But
void BootpCopyNetParams(Bootp_t *bp)
{
NetCopyIP(&NetOurIP, &bp->bp_yiaddr);
NetCopyIP(&NetServerIP, &bp->bp_siaddr);
memcpy (NetServerEther, ((Ethernet_t *)NetRxPkt)->et_src, 6);
copy_filename (BootFile, bp->bp_file, sizeof(BootFile));
debug ("Bootfile: %s\n", BootFile);
/* Propagate to environment:
* don't delete exising entry when BOOTP / DHCP reply does
* not contain a new value
*/
if (*BootFile) {
setenv ("bootfile", BootFile);
}
}
So setenv is called only for bootfile. So should we call setenv for OurIP,
ServerIp etc or should tftp check NetOurIP or bp->bp_yiaddr!?
