Package: libc0.3-dev
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-20
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The following patch by Marco Gerards is the glibc part of SIOCGIFHWADDR
support for pfinet on the Hurd. This is needed e.g. for dhclient to
properly transmit the MAC-address to the server, so IP addresses can get
handed out based on the hardware address. Otherwise, DHCP would be
quite limited.
The patch was submitted in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2004-08/msg00014.html
and mostly acked by Marcus Brinkmann in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2005-02/msg00106.html
requesting minor changes which are not applicable to the glibc part of
the patch.
Please apply.
thanks,
Michael
