Is this still an active consideration, or is etherconf and the debconf management that it provided for ethernet interfaces dead and gone? Personally, I found it to be a great tool as the debconf interface is easily scriptable and simplifies the automated management of IP interfaces. Am I to assume that my installations will now consist of an extra: apt-get install dchp-client dhcp3-client- dpkg -i etherconf That seems pretty hokey. Surely there can be a solution to pull this back into sid? No one mentioned an etherconf3 package to be compatible with dhcp3-client. Is that an option? Thanks, Bruce
