The driver setup is almost exactly from the current intel driver. If you could do a tcpdump, or use a similar network sniffer and confirm the dhcp packet is not actually sent that would say something. My best hunch is that you are not specifying a filename in the dhcp response. Until I have evidence to the contrary I believe you have not properly configured your server. Eric |
