So far I've been configuring the board's network settings manually using ifconfig and route. Recently I tried to start using DHCP, but udhcpc is not happy about something: # ifconfig eth0 up # ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:D0:69:40:7C:D6 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:51 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Interrupt:39 # udhcpc -i eth0 udhcpc (v1.13.2) started Sending discover... udhcpc: sendto: Network is down Sending discover... udhcpc: sendto: Network is down I've verified the network is actually up (all the lights are on). If I configure an IP address manually it works fine, e.g.: # ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.30 up # ping 192.168.1.1 PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.000 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.000 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.000 ms --- 192.168.1.1 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 0.000/0.000/0.000 ms What could I be missing?
