Hi,

I'm trying to install Gentoo on an old machine, but I run into a
problem with getting it on the net. When the machine boots it
apparently autodetects the NIC but when I rund 'dhcpcd eth0', I get
a hundred million entries in /var/log/everything/current that look
like this:

[dhcpcd]: dhcpStop: ioctl SIOCSIFADDR: Bad file descriptor
[dhcpcd]: dhcpStop: ioctl SIOCSIFFLAGS: Bad file descriptor
[dhcpcd]: terminating on signal 4

What do they mean and what can I do to fix it? I have tried with two
different NIC's, none of them work, but they both work in win95,
which is installed on the computer.

    Thanks in advance.
    Christian
