One other thing for guys compiling their own kernel. Very important and
liable to be overlooked.
I am using unstable 'sid' with kernel 2.4.10 and am using 'dhcp-client'
to query and get my IP address from the cable-head server. Please do
not forget to enable these two options among others in your kernel
configuration, ie.look in the file 'config-<kernel version>' inside /boot
and make sure that you see something like
CONFIG_NETFILTER=y
[..]
CONFIG_FILTER=y
If not re-compile your kernel with these config options set. Enjoy
broad-band surfing....
