dhcp

[Ronin <ronin@stx.rr.com>]

Before upgrading my kernel, my dhcp worked..as it should during the 
installation...
However, after upgrading the kernel (currently using 2.4.24).. my pcmcia 
nic was recognized during boot (NE2000 compatible) but it did not pick 
up an IP address.  The network adapter works because I can manually do 
an ifconfig eth0 192.168.254.10 and it will assign that IP.  I also have 
to manually assign the gateway.  I tried upgrading the dhcp-client by 
doing an apt-get  but it said I had the latest version.   Any ideas?
