	Sorry for this late reply. I made the changes that you suggested and now it 
works fine. Thanks a lot! 

	I also noticed something: the function "show_bootp", called in 
"init_all_network_interfaces" to display the network setup, sais that the 
harware MAC address is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF, even if I changed it to 
08:88:12:34:56:78. I am sure that the change occured because I saw it on my 
computer with "arp". Maybe this should be modified too in the main resources 
to notice users that the MAC address has been set to the requested value.
