dhclient is still required. What this patch does is preparing the state of the interfaces so it can use 0.0.0.0 as address and broadcast. When using this patch it is possible to port dhclient. s/port/use, dhclient compiles just fine without this but is unusable since one cannot broadcast (DHCPDISCOVER) the network for possible DHCP servers. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list Bug-hurd@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
