Well I tried the patch below but it did not resolve
the problem I have had. The script I had originally
mentioned was at the beginning of the ifup script and
it basically made ifup act like a restart, by first
killing the existing copy. In your version, I still
just get the error message below when I have
situations like I have now with a pcmcia restart that
fails. In this case the actual pid is killed but
/etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.pid is not cleared.
Determining IP information for eth0...****
/sbin/dhcpcd: already running
**** /sbin/dhcpcd: if not then delete
/etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.pid file
failed.
Unless the newbie can see this on the command line, he
is just left with the fact that the network is broken
until he reboots.
