I've recently installed Plan 9 on a computer with a 3COM 3C905 CX-TXM network card. When I boot into the Plan 9 Live CD and run
ip/ipconfig it communicates with the router and does the whole DHCP business just fine. However, when I boot into my newly installed system and run ip/ipconfig -D -d ether /net/ether0 I get: ipconfig: dhcprecv: read timed out ... forever. So, why would DHCP work in the boot CD but not in the installed system? The binaries haven't changed; I haven't changed any hardware configurations. What's going on? Thanks, ak
