Thanks for the documentation update. You are exactly right. Running "ifconfig eth0orwhatever up" was not needed in 0.8.1
I will do some looking around and see if this service is mentioned by other users of Linux-libre.

I went ahead and committed a documentation patch in 152dd61. However, looking more closely (in QEMU), I noticed that ‘dhcp-client-service’ also needs to set the interfaces up before calling ‘dhclient’, hence commit 9bb34f9. Now, I wonder what has changed. I recall that this was not needed in the past, so perhaps a change in Linux-libre 4.0.2 made interfaces down by default or something like that. Any ideas? Ludo’.
