dhcpd is now working.

On line 14 of /etc/init.d/dhcpd there is a line that begins with:

    ifs=

After adding entries for my two wireless interfaces it all works now.

    ifs="netcs0 netcs1"

One of the frustrations of working with embedded systems is the frequent use
of non-standard configurations.  Standard Linux practice (at least with
which I am familiar) is that you DO NOT put local configuration parameters
in init scripts.  Those ought to be as implementation neutral as possible.
Specific configuration parameters should go in /etc/*.conf files!  In Redhat
or Slackware I just setup my subnets in /etc/dhcpd.conf and it all works!
There is none of this:  "Now, what other files do I need to edit?"

Anyway, dhcpd is now handing out leases on both wireless interfaces on my
Soekris 4521.  I can choose either WISP_N or WISP_W (my North or West facing
subnets) from my laptop running WinXP and get the appropriate ip address
assignement.  Nice!  It also works when I boot up the Redhat partition on my
laptop.

My next hurdle is to get encryption going and then try to bridge the two
wireless channels together into a single subnet.  Is that doable in A.P.
mode?
