I pulled the bering disk image tonight and began working with it to
hopefully update my Eiger firewall.  However, I've hit a snag and wonder if
there is a simple solution before I start posting configuration data...

Quite simply, pump fails to obtain an IP on boot.  However, once the boot is
complete, a lease can be obtained by running pump after login.
Unfortunately, I'm unable to ping beyond the interface, and dns lookups fail
(even if dnscache is restarted).  I suspect my firewall rules are partly to
blame, but I don't think they are active when pump first does its thing - so
I need to fix the first problem before going any further.

The connection is a cable connection, no PPP etc.  Eiger, with dhclient, has
worked flawlessly for almost a year.  As my connection allows more than one
IP, the Eiger box is still running.  I'm *fairly* sure that this isn't a
release/renew problem as I can get a lease eventually.

As a side note, how does one see the interface information in bering?  I'm
used to using ifconfig and netstat in eiger and feel hamstrung without
them...

Comments?
