Failed to bring up eth0. --8<--- Looking into it, ifupdown-0.8.2 calls dhclient with -I and -df options; these options are not supported by dhclient. The previous version of ifupdown, 0.7.49, worked with dhcp-4.1-ESV-R12. Has anyone else noticed this? It appears that dhcp-4.3.3 supports the -I and -df options used by ifupdown-0.8.2. Cross-compiling dhcp-4.3.3 will be more complicated since there is now a bind tar-ball embedded into the dhcp source. Is anyone else attempting to add dhcp-4.3.3 to Buildroot? Thanks and Regards, ...doug
