Re: more info on dhcpcd problem
Boy, I hate this... :)
I think I mistyped my first submission to this mailing list. Here it is
again, verbatim, save for fixing the errors I know I had in it.
Hey gang, I desperatly need your help. I don't think my slink's dhcpcd is
properly doing the dhcpdiscover.
Specs:
kernel 2.0.36, both custom and debian-default
two 3c905b network cards (plan on ipmasq :)
3c59x.c driver from both debian-default and from donald becker's page
(Currently loading as a module.. btw, where to specify module
options?)
Pentium II 266 oc to 300, on early motherboard
I sure wish I could cut'n'paste the error messages. I ran
/usr/sbin/dhcpcd -d eth0
and after a few seconds of waiting, I get a message similar to:
sendto (init): Operation not permitted
running that command as root, and having it fail thusly is annoying. :)
I have tried to run the dhcpcd with ifconfig eth0 up and ifconfig eth0 down.
I am pretty sure it is eth0 because ifconfig shows that interface reciving
thousands of packets -- but sending NONE.
After running "/usr/sbin/dhcpcd eth0", it does not show up in ps aux, and
"killall dhcpcd" gives "no processes killed".
Should I load network driver into kernel, rather than as module? (keep in
mind, TWO network cards.. :)
Should eth0 be UP or DOWN before running dhcpcd? Should I ifconfig eth0 to a
bogus IP before running dhcpcd? how about netmask?
Please guys, I am very much sad at theloss of my internet... ;) (loss in the
sense that when I was at home my windows machine had a modem... here, my
linux machine has no modem, and no network access just yet... :( it hasn't
worked in this configuration before... new network cards, new debian, etc..
:)
Thanks.
