I have to choose a dhcp client for our embedded linux platform. I use pump for now since it is small and simple and work in our &quot;Windows AD network&quot;. (I had to ask our IT dep. to check the &quot;dhcp server updates dns&quot; option to get dns working).<br />
<br />
Our platform must however also work when installed in our customers network, which can be any kind of network, servers etc.<br />
<br />
My urgent question is then wether I would be better to &nbsp;choose either dhcpc or dhclient, if they eg. can be better configured to work in different networks?
