Hi fellow Eindhovenaar, (judging from the emailadress :-)), I also posted my question on the debian-laptop list (because it seemed to fit their better on second thought) and here's a clue to the issue at hand:

Encrypted e-mail preferred. Seems like there is some strange thing going on in the IP setup. I think I'll double-check tomorrow whether it works for me with CONFIG_FILTER enabled. (Thought I did that already but now I'm not so sure anymore.) Auke On Sun, 2002-10-27 at 22:29, Q. Gong wrote: > For most users dhclient works perfectly with kernel 2.4, IMHO.
