Re: Dell Inspiron 5100 + DHCP
ThanhVu, I am having the same trouble, regardless wether I use the bcm44 built in module in 2.4.22 or the bcm4400 module. I think it has something to do with the version of dhcp3-client. I have some local deb files (client and common) containing V3.0.1rc9 that i know that work. Having those installed ifup eth0 using dpkg -i results in getting an ip address through dhcp.

What about > kernel options ? need anything turn on / off ? Try typing dhclient as a root. Also, you can instal etherconf. During configuration choose option dhcp. Everything should work fine. If you already have etherconf installed try dpkg-reconfigure etherconf. This will however erase any previous configuration for eth0 you had before. I don't know how to configure multiple network connections for a single card :-(. If you figure it out please let me know. Slaven

Re: Dell Inspiron 5100 + DHCP
I tried using the bcm4400 , exact problem as before, static ip works fine but nothing from dhcp. Perhaps I am missing something ? do you do anyt special setup other than changing the static to dhcp in /etc/networking/interface and apt-get install dhcpclient ? What about kernel options ? need anything turn on / off ?

I am using the b44 (experimental) driver in kernel 2.4.22 , I think I'll try the bcm4400 and see if it helps.

Broadcom card works perfectly, DHCP or not, with bcm4400 driver. Source code for this is a part of Debian distribution and you can compile it easily against kernel headers.
