I am able to get a global-scope address and prefix from dhclient, but dhclient is not providing a gateway address. I see the dhclient interface doing a Router Solicitation, but I don't see any answers. Are we supposed to run radvd or something like that as well? Or is there some other automated magic that is supposed to find the default gateway? Thanks, Ben -- Ben Greear Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com
