Something else must be going on, IMO. The kernel configuration is correct: $ wget -q http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/compact/kernel-config $ grep "CONFIG_PACKET" kernel-config ; grep CONFIG_FILTER kernel-config CONFIG_PACKET=m CONFIG_FILTER=y $ The module is present: $ wget -q http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/compact/root.bin -O - | zcat > root $ sudo mount -o loop root /mnt/ $ find /mnt/ | grep af_packet /mnt/lib/modules/misc/af_packet.o $ And should be loaded when the system boots: $ grep af_packet /mnt/etc/init.d/rcS insmod /lib/modules/af_packet.o >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo af_packet >>/etc/modules insmod /lib/modules/misc/af_packet.o >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo af_packet >>/etc/modules $ What is going on here? > although this kernel has built-in ethernet drivers, dhclient-2.2.x does > not work.

Can you do a : $ cat /proc/modules to verify that the module is not loaded. Can you run dhclient manually? Thanks, David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
