No problem here ... (Based on Slink) i installed
(flo@paradigm)~# dpkg --list | grep dhcp
ii dhcpcd-sv 1.3.16-1 Sergei Viznyuk's DHCP client for 2.1.x kerne
Problem here is that i am using pcmcia-cs 3.1 (selfmade) probably the bug
comes from there ...
In /etc/pcmcia/network.opts i set DHCP=y and then i had to do a link
from
(flo@paradigm)~# ls -la /sbin/dhcpcd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Sep 19 02:42 /sbin/dhcpcd -> ../usr/sbin/dhcpcd-sv
Otherwise the pcmcia utils wont find the dhcpd ... Then i additionally removed
the /etc/(init.d|rcX.d)/dhcp scripts as these are not needed as the
pcmcia network scripts start the dhcpd itself.
