FW: The command 'ifconfig -s ethX dhcp' fails to get IP address

[Santhapur Naveen]

Hello all,

The command 'ifconfig -s ethX dhcp' fails to retrieve an IP address in one of our platforms.
It is observed that the DISCOVER packet was also not sent from the client.
However with a modified Shell.efi which I'm not able to attach here, the IP is assigned properly (D.O.R.A is successful).
I'm not able to decide whether the issue is with ShellPkg or with the IPv4 drivers.

Please provide your suggestions to take this further.

Thank you
Naveen

Can you explain what is different in this modified shell.efi that functions as expected?
