DHCP failure discovery - mcb2300

Genp

I wonder if there is any way to get information about failed dhcp process?
I need to start dhcp, and if it's not succeeded, disable dhcp and use a default local ip (case of a direct connect to a pc).
I understand, that i can monitor local ip, but is there a better way?
Also when dhcp is not succesful, the mcb2300_debug complains that retransmit timeout is too big.

Thanks,
Gennady

    Actually I have a similar requirement to "fall back" to a fixed IP address if DCHP negotiation fails. This is the scenario:

    1. The device can be connected to a network with a dhcp server. It is expected to negotiate an address with no user intervention.

    or...

    2. The device is connected to a PC using an ethernet crossover cable. The PC has been configured with a static IP address. It expects to find the device at a well known IP address (say, 192.168.0.1). This is similar to the configuration scheme for many dsl routers.
