Hello, I compiled 2.4.18 (from the debian disks), and installed it. Unfortunately, when I use the new kernel, I do not get an ipaddress from my cable modem (dhclient eth0), but if I use the old kernel (2.2.20), I am able to get an IP address ? Any idea whats up ?
Yup. I think you didn't enable CONFIG_FILTER which is needed by dhclient. Enable this and recompile. It's not enabled by default, I got pretty frustrated before I found out what was wrong :=). hth, /johan -- Johan Ehnberg johan@ehnberg.net "Windows? No... I don't think so."
