Hello,

I would like to use busybox in a custom initramfs environment, where some
networking tasks need to be done. This includes:
- requesting an ip address from a dhcp server
- resolving some hostnames (not necessarily through a nameserver - could
be statically via a hosts file)
- run some services
All should run within a xen domU.

Can this be achieved with the busybox tools?
As far, I have built a complete busybox binary (statically linked) and got
an ash running within the initramfs. I can assign a static address to my
eth0 interface, but udhcpc doesn't get any ip address from the dhcp
server. Do I have to load some kernel module to get the card working? Atm,
there are no additional modules loaded...
In the busybox FAQ I read something about libc nss modules, do I need them?

Would be great, if someone could help me out with some ideas.

K. Haselhorst
