Hi,

I have a laptop running debian woody.  I can do dhcp networking okay, but I 
need to run
dhclient by hand as root whenever i reboot.

In truth, this system is usually used in dhcp environments, and
on those occasions when dhcp is not available, I have a
reserved static configuration that will work consistantly.

can anyone suggest a nice way to handle this 'logic' in a
startup script?

i.e.

try dhclient, if fail, then set eth0 manually ...

aloha (and TIA)
dave
