Re: [Gumstix-users] What is the DHCP client?

[Jonathan K. <jon...@gm...>]

Paul,

Having had some...fun debugging DHCP, it might be useful to know that Ubuntu
(and so probably Debian) execute dhclient from the ifup-related scripts
depending on
the contents of /etc/network/interfaces. It's not a top-level init script.

Figured this might save you a moment or two grepping for a deeper
understanding.

Cheers,
Jon
