Hi
I am trying to develop a miniature version of DHCP on FreeBSD. 
In the DHCP client, while sending the DHCPOFFER or DHCPREQUEST message through 
the interface, IP will discard the packet, if the interface is not 
configured(because rtalloc will fail and also the IF_UP flag will not be set).  

Secondly,if I want to send a packet with IPsource Address 0.0.0.0, how
could I do that. This I need as the RFC referred to the DHCP, mention the
source address should be zero.

Looking for the information.

Rishi
