I choose to use the DHCP address because if the TFTP address was valid, a dongle.bin.mvpmc.config file would have loaded mvpmc so the code you are talking about wouldn't even execute. It has also tried to get the config file from a flash based IP so I am running out choices for IPs to look for. > Could you elaborate?

Why, simply to enable every single mvpmc option so they can be seen on the main menu and modifed through the setup menu option or web config.
