The firewire network interface does not support DHCP, or at least, dhcpcd |
| 9 |
refuses to work on 1394 interfaces (check the system log). So what we are |
| 10 |
doing at the moment (in cases of firewire-enabled systems) is effectively nothing. |

We should possibly do some ifconfig parsing and only run dhcpcd on ethernet |
| 13 |
style devices. |
