Re: Dell Inspiron 5100 + DHCP
ThanhVu,
I am having the same trouble, regardless wether I use the bcm44 built in
module in 2.4.22 or the bcm4400 module. I think it has something to do with
the version of dhcp3-client. I have some local deb files (client and common)
containing V3.0.1rc9 that i know that work. Having those installed ifup eth0
using dpkg -i results in getting an ip address through dhcp. See log exerpt
below..

If however I install dhcp3-client though apt-get install dhcp3-client
dhcl3-common, I get V3.0.1rc11. Which results in messages that my network is
down on ifup eth0. See log exerpt below.
