Hello all, 

I don't know if this is a bug or a design limitation of the DHCP client
in tomsrtbt (version 2.0.103) but anyway: When I boot either my ThinkPad
560X or my stationary box with tomsrtbt, I get something like this: 

Looking for DHCPOFFER... 

ERROR 
timeout 

SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument 

I've tried to increase the timeout value in "dhcpcd--.lua" to 30
seconds, but this has no effect[1]. I've also tried putting "sleep 30"
after the "/etc/rc.pcmcia start" line in "rc.custom", but this also has
no effect[1]. 

The NIC in my stationary box is RealTek 8029-based (PCI), the one in my
laptop is Tulip-based (CardBus) and needs the "tulip_cb.o" and
"cb_enabler.o" modules from the add-ons directory to work. 

I can configure the ethernet devices manually with the ifconfig/route
combo. Also, the "fully-featured" DHCP clients in RH Linux and Windows
2000 (which ordinarily inhabit the two machines) configure the
interfaces correctly.

I wonder whether my DHCP server is to blame (a SpeedStream 2601 router).
Any ideas? 


Best regards, 
CJ
