>Hi all.. I may have spoken to a few of you in #gentoo regarding this, but I am really at a loss here. I realize there is no DHCP script as of yet with gentoo, but I have been unable to configure my network as a result. What would the procedure be for me to get my network up with dhcp? A binary of dhcp was kindly made for me, but I am at a loss as to what to do once I've pkmerged it.. |

cd /usr/portage/net-misc |
| 5 |
emerge dhcp-3.0_beta0224.ebuild |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
dhclient ethN (where N is a number, I have two interfaces on my laptop eth0 |
| 8 |
is the onboard eepro and eth1 is my pcmcia nic) |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I use dhcp for both. WIth my pcmcia stuff I had to edit |
| 11 |
/etc/pcmcia/network to reflect the correct paths etc. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
and I rarely use my onboard so I just run it by hand, you could however make a |
| 14 |
/etc/rc.d/config/inet.eth0 look like this. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
IFACE=eth0 |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
netup() { |
| 19 |
/sbin/dhclient $IFACE |
| 20 |
} |
| 21 |
netdown(){ |
| 22 |
/sbin/ifconfig $IFACE down |
| 23 |
} |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
And if I weren't so lazy I'd also add in the ipchains stuff too. |
