(I have found some doc who say that work) but for me ip configuration don't work, i haven't any bootp request. I look at the file net/ipv4/ipconfig.c I see that int ic_enable __initdata = 0; /* IP config enabled? */ ic_enable is set in function ip_auto_config_setup with ic_enable = (*addrs && (strcmp(addrs, "off") != 0) && (strcmp(addrs, "none") != 0)); so i must pass an argument ? how could I do that on my floppy ? there are nothing about that in doc ? also if I change int ic_enable __initdata = 0; /* IP config enabled? */ whit int ic_enable __initdata = 1; /* IP config enabled? */ all seem work well, i have bootp request so why should i need this argument ? thank for any help
