Re: dhcpcd weirdness



Well, I guess I _could_ use a shell script to start it, but it bothers me
that it used to work yet suddenly does not.  The config files sure seem to
be written correctly.  I have installed other packages since dhcpcd that
mess with network things, such as ssh and oidentd, but I don't see how this
would affect dhcpcd since it has its own config file??

Debian does default to pump, but I removed it as I could never get it to
work.  dhcpcd worked on the first try, with the caveat that "-h (hostname)"
must be used with my ISP.  The config file even worked, back then...

Does anybody think that upgrading to the version in unstable might do
something?  I've already tried purging and reinstalling potato's version
(including the files in /etc/dhcpc).
