There is a problem then i try use net-misc/dhcp-3.1.1 in Gentoo to obtain ip address : # dhcpcd eth1 err, eth1: cannot request a link local address err, eth1: cannot request a link local address err, eth1: cannot request a link local address ... The 169.254.0.0/16 set as local sublet in /etc/networks: # /etc/networks # # This file describes a number of netname-to-adress # mappings for the TCP/IP subsytem. It is mostly # used at boot time, when no name servers are running. # loopback 127.0.0.0 link-local 169.254.0 So i think, the best way to use dhcp in synce-hal is add DEPEND="net-misc/dhcp" in ebuild. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ SynCE-Devel mailing list SynCE-Devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/synce-devel
