I guess the magic it requires besides broadcast (client) is MAC addressing support at the network layer which is not available in QDIO mode, nor with CTC/IUCV, but LCS only (not sure about CLAW). Now folks, please let me know about the importance of having DHCP support with Linux on zSeries - and is client or server more important to you, or both ? Best regards, Ingo
