Mats; there has been more than 300 downloads of 3.1-beta2; and statistically around 50% uses dhcpcd with their cable modems - and only one bug report has arrived yet. This is obviously not a "hidden" function - you can connect or you can't. So if something is that fundemental has a bug, I'd expected a lot more complaints. Are you shure that qemu isn't the problem? Can you doublecheck on a real machine with real access to the net? kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
