That has nothing to do with DHCP per se and shouldn't give the impression that it does. Actually, it does. The patch also sets up the routing table. Which is impossible to do without doing some serious hacking in pfinet, adding a new interface, etc, so that one can use `route'. And this is needed for DHCP to work. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list Bug-hurd@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
