Re: PCMCIA card interface not holding its IP
ok, but i stand with derek. dhclient/dhcp-client has never worked for
me. and i have tried it. i'm not sure why it doesn't work, but i don't
care enough to really look into it. i used to use dhcpcd (way back when
i ran mandrake/redhat), but that's not in the tree any more so i'm going
to continue to use pump, because it works. i'll worry about RFC
compliance if dhclient ever decides to lease an IP for me.
