Just a couple of thoughts that come in my mind 1) Try to modify the init scrit under /etc/init.d/ to pass the arguments you want 2) Or just remove the init script with rc-update command and put the client in /etc/conf.d/local.start Something like dhclient eth0 If you have any question please ask :) -- Markos Chandras
