dear list, I got my NIC to work, but I want for it to be configured by DHCP because I don't know how to set the DNS servers and routing stuff. I know the NIC works though because when I do "ifconfig eth0 inet 192.168.1.2" I can then ping 192.168.1.1, the router. However, when I ran dhclient it said unrecognized kernel version. My kernel is 2.6.7 . Google reveals this answer: http://www.yak.net/fqa/398.html by leif How can I fix dhclient in debian stable with the 2.6 kernel? In debian stable (and maybe unstable, I haven't looked), the /sbin/dhclient script doesn't know about the 2.6 kernel yet. (If you boot up 2.6.0 and don't get a DHCP lease, and you notice "Unrecognized kernel version" in the output of the ifup command, this is your problem.) The solution is to edit /sbin/dhclient and change "2.[12345].*)" to "2.[123456].*)"
to that problem. When I did that and then ran dhclient, dhclient just sat there and did nothing, and no configuration appeared. I know my DHCP server works because Windows can get a configuration by DHCP. So how can I make DHCP work? Thanks.
