7	so many seconds broadcasts on the wire to find if there is a DHCP server
8	listening. When it finds one it requests an IP address from it.

11	request an IP address from the DHCP server, or to self-configure one
12	temporarily. Either enable IPv4LL, or install ifplug/netplug to achieve the
13	same end result.
