hi Richard,

try to use the kernel built in dhcp client feature.

It works for me with a kernel (network card driver compiled in) having
the following settings in the kernel configfile:

...

# Networking options
#
CONFIG_PACKET=y
# CONFIG_PACKET_MMAP is not set
# CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV is not set
# CONFIG_NETFILTER is not set
CONFIG_FILTER=y
CONFIG_UNIX=y
CONFIG_INET=y
# CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST is not set
# CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER is not set
CONFIG_IP_PNP=y
CONFIG_IP_PNP_DHCP=y
# CONFIG_IP_PNP_BOOTP is not set
# CONFIG_IP_PNP_RARP is not set

of course devfs is compiled in, too.

The trick is to give some params to the kernel.

snipped (dhcpd.conf):

            host moon {
                hardware ethernet 00:20:af:2a:b3:14;
	        fixed-address 172.16.190.3;
                filename "bzImage.lts";

	        option option-128     e4:45:74:68:00:00;
    		option option-129     "ip=dhcp devfs=mount NIC=3c509" ;
-------------

hope it helps

Wolfgang
