Hi there, I'd like to request a feature to improve the default behavior of gPXE. I noticed that some DHCP implementations uses the "secs" field as a threshold value. In order for your DHCPDiscover to be transmitted to the DHCP server the router will check the value of the "secs" field in your DHCP packet, if the value is below a threshold, then the packet is discarded. By default, gPXE does not increment this counter which leave clients without an IP address. In order to improve the gPXE experience in an existing network I'd like to see this implemented.
You'll find attached a patch which may seem "naive" but works as expected. Don't hesitate to give me some feedback. Nicolas.
