I posted to this list about a week ago to share my experience in hopes that I could get some help on this side. However, you're running dhcpcd v2.0.5; that version worked okay for me, however, v3.0.8 fails to work for me. I'm curious if a different dhcp client would work for you or a different version of dhcpcd as it did for me.<br><br><span>Check out this link to get info on my conversation with the dhcpcd developer - <a target="_blank" href="http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159029">http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159029</a></span><br><br>-Chris<br><br><div
