IP4 Config Troubles with DHCP

["Cohen, Eugene" <eugene@hp.com>]

We have been running into an issue when trying to configure an interface as DHCP where if the DHCP process is not yet complete (Ip4Mode.IsConfigured is FALSE) the configure process will never succeed.

We have a case where we attempt to invoke the UDP4 Configure:

Status = Nlc->Udp4->Configure(Nlc->Udp4, &Nlc->UdpConfig);

We had a retry loop where we keep calling Udp4->Configure until we finally see Ip4Mode.IsConfigured go TRUE (similar to what you see in Mtftp4GetMapping) - this has worked for many years but recently something broke this.   Now, even when DHCP succeeds the Ip4Mode.IsConfigured flag is set to FALSE.  

Only if we retry by destroying and re-creating new service binding children can we actually get this logic to succeed.  This logic is getting ridiculously complicated so I'm thinking there has to be a better way of doing this.

Do you have an example of specifically how a driver/app should handle the case where the DHCP process is not yet complete and wants to wait?

Thanks,

Eugene
