Adding netmask/gateway support to RedBoot is now on my official
list of things to do. I guess if you're goint to screw up a
device configuration to the point where it won't talk to you at
all, you certainly want to be able to do it from 10000 miles
away. ;)
Supporting netmask/gateway probably means jumping from vanilla
BOOTP to DHCP in order to get a netmask value. I might
fall-back to plain BOOTP and calculate the netmask based on the
IP address.
If anybody is already doing gateway support for RedBoot (or has
suggestions) yell now.
