I compiled a 2.6.0 kernel for a woody machine. The DHCP client quit working
and I was unable to access the network. Script /sbin/dhclient checks the
version of your kernel and starts the appropriate client software. For a
2.6.0 kernel it quits with "Unrecognized kernel version". What should I do?

I use pump which works fine. Dunno if that's an option for you,
though.

* David Sanders (debian@sandersweb.net) [031219 23:05]:

The sarge version (2.0pl5-16) of dhcp-client WFM. (My system's not
woody, though). Looking at the changelog, it looks like they removed
backward-compatibility (2.0.x kernels) at 2.0p5-12; I'd bet that that's
when it gained forward-compatibility. So this would probably mean
backporting; the other's posting suggesting pump would probably be an
easier course, if it works.

good times,
Vineet

Well I edited the /sbin/dhclient script so that it does the same thing for a
2.6.x kernel that it did for a 2.2.x kernel. All works fine now. Thanks.
