Hi,
When booting Mandriva LE 2005, dhclient is unable to get an IP address for my computer. Strangely, after the computer has finished booting, I can run manually
and it gets an IP address without problems and within 5 seconds. What should I do to get an IP address during booting?
Relevant output is posted below. There is a wlan card at ra0 and an (unconnected) Ethernet card at eth0.
Thanks for any suggestions!
