When a DNS query is sent out, the ethernet packet can get directed to
the MAC address of a server that was communicated to before. This is
wrong when the previously stored MAC address corresponds to a different
server's IP address, i.e. when the IP address of the previous and the
current communication are different.
The error can get reproduced by running a sequence of e.g. a TFTP
download and a DNS query, where the TFTP and DNS servers reside on
individual machines.
The fix is to clear the server's MAC address that might be left from a
previous operation, and to fetch the peer's MAC address in a new ARP
lookup, before the DNS query is sent. This is the approach taken in
other network services, like 8e52533d10 ("net: tftpsrv: Get correct
client MAC address").

Call a built-in dummy if none is registered... don't require
protocols to register a handler (eliminating dummies)
NetConsole now uses the ARP handler when waiting on arp
(instead of needing a #define hack in arp.c)

Rename IP header related things to IP_UDP. The existing definition
of IP_t includes UDP header, so name it to accurately describe the
structure.

net/dns.c used endian conversion macros wrongly (shorts in reply
were put swapped into CPU, and then ntohs() was used to swap it
back, which broke on big-endian).
Fix this by using the correct linux conversion macro for reading
a unaligned short in network byte order: get_unaligned_be16()
Thanks to Mike Frysinger pointing at the best macro to use.
Tested on big and little endian qemu boards (mips and versatile)

This is needed for the upcoming TFTP server implementation.
This also simplifies PingHandler() and fixes rxhand_f documentation.

On 04 Oct 2008 Pieter posted a dns implementation for U-Boot.

Here it is again - slightly modified & smaller:
- update to 2009-06 (Pieter's patch was for U-Boot 1.2.0)
- README.dns is added
- syntax is changed (now takes a third option, the env var to store
the result in)
- add a random port() function in net.c
- sort Makefile in ./net/Makefile
- dns just returns unless a env var is given
- run through checkpatch, and clean up style issues
- remove packet from stack
- cleaned up some comments
- failure returns much faster (if server responds, don't wait for
timeout)
- use built in functions (memcpy) rather than byte copy.
