Hello, I've been meaning to do this for probably a year, but I've finally gotten around to actually looking into what is involved in using ipconfig in netcfg as a replacement to dhcp-client, so we can get rid of DHCPv2 altogether. The first observation I've made is that it doesn't appear to pass the hostname in the request. I'm attempting to clarify this with the author at the moment, but if someone with more C-fu than myself wants to take a look, I'd appreciate it. If indeed this is the case, is this a show stopper? I recall some bugs filed in the past from people trying to install on a cable connection where the cable provider required the hostname in order to issue a lease, so I'm assuming it is. regards Andrew
