Any inputs on why I need to issue |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
dhcpcd eth0 |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
for this particular install. The ethernet card is Broadcom NetXtreme |
| 46 |
BCM5764M Gigabit Ethernet PCIe. I have the right driver built into the |
| 47 |
kernel. All works but as I said, wicd does work from boot. After logging |
| 48 |
in I need to get an IP address manually. |

Don't know what I am missing. |
