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
