[ECOS] about the wireless lan on iPAQ

[00917764d]

I have ported the eCos on iPAQ H3630. Now, I would like to use the wireless 
lan on iPAQ. I am using the Socket Low Power Wlan card. When I try to modify 
the ecos sources code, I check that there are some IP setting in the file 
bootp.c under the /package/redboot/net/bootp.c. The following are what I am 
talking about.

static const unsigned char dhcpCookie[] = {99,130,83,99};
static const unsigned char dhcpEndOption[] = {255};
static const unsigned char dhcpRequestOption[] = {52,1,3};


    r.ip_addr[0] = 255;
    r.ip_addr[1] = 255;
    r.ip_addr[2] = 255;
    r.ip_addr[3] = 255;
    r.enet_addr[0] = 255;
    r.enet_addr[1] = 255;
    r.enet_addr[2] = 255;
    r.enet_addr[3] = 255;
    r.enet_addr[4] = 255;
    r.enet_addr[5] = 255;

Is it necessary for me to modify these code? Please give me some suggestion 
what I should do. Thanks!!

No, you should not be changing any of these settings.

If you are just trying to force a particular IP address (as
opposed to using BOOTP/DHCP), use the CDL to change that
behaviour.

Does your wireless card do anything yet?  Can you see if it
moves packets in/out?  I'd start with that before worrying
about the IP address to use.
