Re: DHCP and debian
Just for the record, my dhcpcd is having the same problem, with one
ethernet card. Kernel 2.2.7, dhcpcd 1.3.16. I have to use dhclient
(another DHCP client program) to connect to the internet.
I had this problem under Redhat, too. In fact, it is part of the
reason I switched. Trying to get redhat to call dhclient the same way
as it called dhcpcd showed me how poor the Redhat init scripts really
were.
Until you can get an answer to the dhcpcd problem, dhclient should work.
