Hi fellow Eindhovenaar, (judging from the emailadress :-)), I also posted my question on the debian-laptop list (because it seemed to fit their better on second thought) and here's a clue to the issue at hand: | >>>>> "Auke" == Auke Jilderda <jilderda@dds.nl> writes: | | Auke> Why do I need the CONFIG_FILTER for DHCP? Seems unrelated to | Auke> me. | | Me too. From what I can tell (from | /usr/share/doc/dhcp3-client/dhcp-on-linux.txt), it seems Linux doesn't | allow network interfaces to be bound to 0.0.0.0, which is required for | dhcp. So dhclient needs to use CONFIG_FILTER to work around it. How | pump does it, I don't know. | | -- | Hubert Chan <hubert@uhoreg.ca> - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ | PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA | Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA | Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net. Encrypted e-mail preferred. Seems like there is some strange thing going on in the IP setup. I think I'll double-check tomorrow whether it works for me with CONFIG_FILTER enabled. (Thought I did that already but now I'm not so sure anymore.) Auke On Sun, 2002-10-27 at 22:29, Q. Gong wrote: > For most users dhclient works perfectly with kernel 2.4, IMHO.
