dhcp on 2.0.x kernel and potato
Hi all,
I'm running a potato system, and I'm still using a 2.0.x kernel.
I have an account with the @home service and I decided to set my
eth0 up to use dhcp to get the necessary info whenever my IP
lease runs out.
I grabbed and installed the dhcpcd package from unstable, and I
ran into trouble getting it to work. I took a look at the README
and it informs me that this particular version doesn't work with
2.0.x kernels.
Q 01. Can I install the dhcpcd client from slink instead? If so, how
will I keep it from being upgraded the next time I do apt-get
upgrade?
Q 02. Or am I better off installing a tarball and using that?
Q 03. Or should I run a 2.2.x kernel, use the current version of
dhcpcd, and learn how to use IPchains?
tia for any input
