DHCP - 2.4.18 Kernel - recently recompiled {newbie}
I am still struggling with my network card after I recompiled kernel
2.4.18. I managed to get the card recognized, but it is not getting an IP
address from my router. Any help is greatly appreciated. Below are the
commands that have been recommended to run and they're corresponding
information. Let me know if there's something else I need to run.
TIA,
Lisa B.
