Have you read interfaces(5)? > Do you use ifup/ifdown? Reading interfaces(5) was certainly interesting. It helps explain why an insmod for my network hardware will configure a static address for me. It also says I can't use pump with a 2.4.xx kernel. So pump isn't likely to work. I wasn't planning to use ifup/ifdown at all. I have a script to load modules, change the hardware address to satisfy my cable modem, add firewall rules, and so on. On my x86 box, the part of that script which interacts with the DHCP client looks like this: ################################################################## # don't get an IP until firewall is up if ps -C dhcpcd ; then echo DHCP client running ; else dhcpcd ; fi . /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.info iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -d ! $IPADDR -j DROP # not for us ################################################################## None of pump, dhclient, or dhcpcd are even able to get an IP address on my Mac. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
