Package: dhcp-client (2.0pl5-19.5)

DHCP Client

This is a split off from the dhcp package and contains the DHCP client tools.

Cable modem users likely need this or another dhcp client to successfully connect to the network.

Documentation (apart from manpages) can be found in the dhcp package.

Note: This package _requires_ a 2.2.x or later Linux kernel. 2.0.x kernels are _not_ supported.

This is the DHCP client from version 2 of the Internet Software Consortium DHCP package. For more information visit the ISC web site at http://www.isc.org.
