This message appears when the DHCP client sends a
broadcast request for configuration information to the
DHCP server and a reply is not received within the timeout
period.
"
It may be necessary to reconfigure either the initial
timeout period (through the dhcp -t option) or the
initial retry count (through the dhcp -r option) in
environments in which a DHCP (or Bootp) server
takes a long time to respond.
"
DHCP servers that send only broadcast frames
require access point flooding.  If you are using this
type of DHCP server, you must set global flooding
options on the access point according to the following
charts.
