Actually, DHCP is a superset of ... and no, there is no support for DHCP in the linux kernel yet, only userspace support, see www.isc.org/dhcp.html ^^^^^^ Unless you try to remoteboot one ( or more, actually :-)) Linux workstation(s), you don't need DHCP in the kernel, and even if you do, you have to hack the ISC dhcp client in order to maintain the lease.
I have a patch against 2.1.91 that implements that, but the network guys didn't seem too enthusiastic and I didn't have enough time to keep up with the rate of releases in the 2.1.x tree. If you're really interested I can send you the patch or even download the 2.1.103 and re-hack the damn thing.
Cheers, Vlad P.S. I think I'm gonna release the patch anyway when 2.2 is out.
