Re: [Cooker] dhcp-client and hackkernel 2.4
To clarify my question, why the difference in behavior between "ifup eth0" and "ifconfig eth0 up", and most importantly why doesn't it work on startup?

[Cooker] dhcp-client and hackkernel 2.4
I have a dhclient.conf file which used to work fine but doesnt now. It looks for an address from a DHCP server then assigns a static one if necessary. Im not sure if the problem is in hackkernel or dhcp-client or in ping. It works fine with a DHCP server, but not without. Please help! :) When I try a manual "ifup eth0" I get:- 1) The log file says this:- Oct 4 01:45:43 gamut modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module 2) the tty displays:- Determining IP information for eth0 via dhclient...Internet Software Consortium DHCP Client V3.0b2pl2 Copyright 1995-2000 Internet Software Consortium.
