Hello,

First time to this list.

I found a small bug in the archlinux rootfs, but I am not sure
whether it exists in others. When I use dhcp for my bridged eth0,
it doesn't work at first. The reason is: the eth0 doesn't have
a MAC addr, or say a 00:00:00:00:00:00 addr.

The fix is to add 'ifconfig eth0 up; ifconfig eth0 down' to the network
startup file. With this, eth0 got the MAC specified in the config
file like eth0=pcap-bridge,'LAN',01:23:45:67:89:01.

ArchLinux-0.7.2-ext3-512mb.7z doesn't have this problem. But
it doesn't work out of box, and after I upgraded the system, the
bug comes.
ArchLinux-2007.08-2-ext3-256m.7z has this problem. and fixed now.:)

Best regards,
William Zhou
