Ummm, I'm no pro at Linux, but if it works manually, why not add it to one
of the system startup scripts, so it runs automatically when you boot? I
noticed with mediaone that I had to do it a couple times, sometimes to get a
lease. I haven't had trouble with it lately. No clue why or why not, other
than that I haven't rebooted the server lately. My current server is on
7.1, too, so perhaps thats part of the reason, but I sure wouldn't reccomend
going back to 7.1 like I did to get it to work.

Subject: Re: [newbie] Can't compile or use drivers for Netgear fa312
NIC!
ever since I upgraded to mandrake 7.2 my network connection fails at
bootup. more specifically dhcp cant resolve the host name and eth0 fails.
that is until I manually run dhcpcd -h hostname from a prompt. I've
tried every combination of host+domain name for the network settings.
So basically how can I get dhcp to work properly on boot, anyone have a
similar problem? Using @home network if that helps any.
