Very simple !
All you need to do is to add a few lines in your dhcpd.conf file and restart
the dhcp server.
What you must add is this:
#Declaration of 'options'
option option-128 code 128 = string;
option option-129 code 129 = text;
host honeoy {
hardware ethernet 00:60:97:2f:41:17;
fixed-address 10.0.1.20
;
# This is the fix to your problem
option option-128 e4:45:74:68:00:00; #This is NOT a MAC address
option option-129 "NIC=3c509";
option host-name "honeoy";
option root-path "10.0.1.254:/opt/ltsp/i386";
filename "lts/vmlinuz-2.4.24-ltsp-4";
}
--------------
Do NOT forget the first two lines that declare the options or it will NOT
work!
I do still have one problem, and it is that the card I'm using supports
full-duplex but it don't seem to use it.
