You need to configure TCP Layer, not hardware controller.
On TCP Layer, declare :
Network Configurator -> Interfaces -> Edit -> Edit Ethernet/Bus Interface ->
Interface Configuration Protocol = DHCP
Make sure the DHCP server Linux kernel is configured with MULTICAST support
and that this system has a route for 255.255.255.255 on eth controlling
this DHCP service:
assume node X is servicing DHCP on eth0:
route add -host 255.255.255.255 dev eth0
By the end, follow-up HOWTO DHCP from Vladimir Vuksan. I read this
document carefuly and configured a DHCP Linux Server serving
35 Window$ 98 and NT systems.
No problem
