The DHCP client in the kernel does not support IPoIB. You need to

not sure if that is of interest.
we tested these patches recently and they still seem to work fine (we
didn't port them to the latest DHCP though). it should be possible to
use this client in an initrd or initramfs.
Thanks.
Is it worth dusting them off, updating to the latest ISC version, and
getting them into the ISC release ?
It'd be good to get it into an ISC release. At the moment we're doing
the configuration in a different way (passing parameters on the command
line). For booting I'd eventually like to get support into the klibc
tools, but maybe we'll tackle that at some later point in time.
