Just a couple of thoughts that come in my mind |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
1) Try to modify the init scrit under /etc/init.d/ to pass the arguments you |
| 22 |
want |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
2) Or just remove the init script with rc-update command and put the client |
| 25 |
in /etc/conf.d/local.start |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Something like |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
dhclient eth0 |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
If you have any question please ask :) |
