Re: dhcp in woody
Hi.. I just wanted to say that I have the _exact_ same problem. DHCP
works fine with debian compiled kernel images, but when I compile my
own, it wont work. (using 8139too.o). Is there some kind of special
config options that need to be set? or?

The day-to-day travails of the IBM programmer are so amusing to most of
us who are fortunate enough never to have been one -- like watching
Charlie Chaplin trying to cook a shoe.
