OS: RH 5.2 dhcpcd: 1.3 (see below) 3com 3c509 connect to LanCity cable modem.
Problem: When initializing dhcpcd, I receive message "can not locate net-pf-17". At this point I noticed my eth0 interface dissappears from 'ifconfig -a'. At the same time, my /var/log/messages file shows right after the net-pf message the following; Dhcp_start: Invalid Argument
I dont know if net-pf and Dhcp_start are related. I am sure the invalid argument is the SOCK_PACKET arg to socket().
I upgraded dhcpcd from the RH 5.2 packaged version of 0.70 out of desperation. I had seen references calling that version buggy. Prior to 1.3, I had some other version (cant remember which) where the author said to "make sure my kernel is compiled to support SOCK_PACKET". I have tried unsuccessfully to do that. Also, the 0.70 version of dhcpcd always gave me "NO DHCPOFFER" message. I was able to tcpdump -i eth0 and see traffic going out to my provider. I can not do that now with 1.3 (tcpdump always reports interface down) but it seems I might be closer.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks Greg C. greg.coleman@csfb.com
