[gPXE] 'secs' value not increased in subsequent DHCP requests

[Jedrzej Kalinowski]

Hello,

My dhcp server has the min-secs property set to 2. The result is gPXE not
getting IP adress from the server, because every request sent to it has
field 'secs' set to 0.

May 17 21:06:57 x dhcpd: PACKET from gPXE: ether: 0:50:56:3f:ff:1
PXEClient:Arch:00000:UNDI:002001
May 17 21:06:57 x dhcpd: PACKET from VMware ESXi: ether: 0:50:56:3f:ff:1
May 17 21:06:57 x dhcpd: DISCOVER from ESX-JK via lagg0: 0 secs < 2
May 17 21:06:58 x dhcpd: PACKET from gPXE: ether: 0:50:56:3f:ff:1

May 17 21:07:04 x dhcpd: PACKET from gPXE: ether: 0:50:56:3f:ff:1

According to RFC 1541, subsequent dhcp requests should have the 'secs'
field incremented. However I didn't find such implementation in gPXE code. 

Could you comment on this if I'm right and share if you plan to implement
this?
