Hi all,
I'm running a potato system, and I'm still using a 2.0.x kernel. I
have an account with the @home service and I decided to set my eth0
up to use dhcp to get the necessary info whenever my IP lease runs
out.
I grabbed and installed the dhcpcd package from unstable, and I ran
into trouble getting it to work. I took a look at the README and it
informs me that this particular version doesn't work with 2.0.x
kernels.
The README is incorrect. The dhcpcd package will work for both 2.0.x
and 2.2.x kernels. As to why it is not working, do you receive any
error messages starting it up? You might try doing the following:
/etc/init.d/dhcpcd stop
rm /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.info /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.cache
rm /var/run/dhcpcd-eth0.pid
/etc/init.d/dhcpcd start
