Abstract
A method for IP address allocation is presented. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) information by a driver module operable on a mobile station prior to the mobile station sending a DHCP discovery message. The method includes storing, by the driver module, the DHCP information and redirecting the DHCP discovery message from an operating system DHCP process to the driver module. The method also includes performing DHCP hand-shaking in response to the DHCP discovery message.
