Question

[Kevin]

HI, Chris

I tried George Toft's image, LRP 2.9.4, Freesco and right now I'm trying to
use Floppyfw.  I tried coyote about a month ago, but it didn't detect my
intel cards.

All these routers detect my 3c509 cards.

-Freesco hangs when it reaches the "waiting for DHCPOFFER on eth0.  I
installed the dhcpcd in the correct folder.

-GT's/LRP 2.9.4 has one error message: (SIOCSIFBRDADDR: Operation not
supported by device)  I think this is the message I get, I'm not sure if
it's eth0 or eth1.  I can ifconfig and get back eth0, eth1 & lo.  But I
cannot ping anything.  When I ping 192.168.1.1 and ping www.cdrom.com I
get -1, 100% packet loss.

-Floppyfw, when I try the disk on my work computer it picks up 192.168.1.64.
But at home in my router box it get nothing.  ifconfig returns etho, eth1 &
lo.  I can ping 192.168.1.1 and get back 0% packet loss, but I cannot get
any IP on the outside world.
