I'm pretty sure that I'm using dhclient, that's what gets installed by default, right? The default DHCP client for Debian is 'pump'. Although I have had several recommendations from others to abandon pump in favor of dhclient or dhcpcd.

you sure about that? My install of woody came with dhclient and in fact IIRC the install itself uses dhclient. I'd bet money on it (not a lot though). It's true that the install uses dhclient, but after several debian installs, the only dhcp client that Debian has ever installed for me has

kernel recompile takes the work out of network

2002-04-09 Thread Yury Sulsky
Hi, I recently installed debian, and once I got the hang of it, I tried to recompile the kernel. Problem is, the network stops working. This occurs both going from a 2.2 kernel to a 2.4 one, and both using make-kpkg and make bzlilo. What's weird is that eth0 is still there, but it can't ping any

Crispin, thanks for replying. I checked dmesg | grep tulip and dmesg | grep eth0, and the returned lines looked the same as what I got with the default kernel. Besides, wouldn't ifconfig -a not find eth0 if the tulip driver wasn't working? I also installed the dhcping package, which checks to

I'm pretty sure that I'm using dhclient, that's what gets installed by default, right? Actually thanks for you help guys, but recompiling the kernel isn't that important... I guess I can keep the default one until I figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thanks again, Yury On Tue, 2002-04-09 at
