RE: dhcpcd

["Reaz Baksh" <reaz.baksh@broadcasttech.net>]

In the initial stages of trying to get this working I did this and it
didn't work.  I had to setup a file in /etc/init.d/ then have it start
on boot up.  I don't know why it didn't work, maybe the dhcp client
program wasn't running at the time the interfaces came up.  

Thanks for our suggestion.

The best way to do this is via the /etc/network/interfaces file. It
will run your dhcp client for you on start up.

See 'man interfaces'. You want something like this:

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
