No, your previous messages, and problem context, indicated problems with
dhclient...I hadn't noticed the dhcpd inconsistency until you pointed it
out.

I am running a system with two NetGear FA310TX cards using the tulip driver.
The system is one of my HP Vectra VL series 3 Pentium 75 test systems, with
16 Megs of memory.
I just tried setting IF_DHCP="eth0 eth1" in network.conf and got the error
you were seeing. I have tracked this problem to a problem with the
/etc/init.d/dhclient init script, which needs to be changes as follows:
Current script:
case "$1" in
start)
if [ "$EXTERN_DHCP" = "YES" ] || \
if [ "$EXTERN_DHCP" = "Yes" ] || \
if [ "$EXTERN_DHCP" = "yes" ]; then
if [ $IF_DHCP ]; then
Change the last line to:
if [ "$IF_DHCP" ]; then
The problem is the missing quotes around $IF_DHCP. I thought I had checked
this, but thinking back, I must have manually run the dhclient command,
rather than using the init script, figuring the problem was with dhclient,
not the init scripts...sorry for any confusion, wasted time, and/or lost
hair...
I'll update the dhclient package for the upcomming dachstein release.
