ifconfig

[Peter van Oene <pvo@usermail.com>]

Having trouble getting my DHCP working after a 2.4.20 kernel upgrade.  My 
interfaces work fine manually configured at time.  However, I have two issues.

1: DHCP doens't work.	I have used etherconf to set them to auto and also 
ran dhclient (i don't seem to have dhcpcd).  Ethereal displays no packets 
at all leaving the interface (bootp requests etc)

2: At times, when manually configuring using "ifconfig eth0 add 
192.168.2.5" a logical eth0:0 is created instead of the address being 
assigned to the physical.  I can't seem to change this when it occurs.  I 
can down the 0:0, but when I issue the command again, I get it back.

I'm likely doing something dumb, but am getting really frustrated ;-)

Thanks for any tips

Pete
