I use bootp to get my ip address and with 2.1.66 it worked just fine. I didn't
run 2.1.67 but with 68 and 69 I get the same error. The problem isn't with
bootp itself, the problem is that I can't ifconfig my eth0 device like I need
to. I try:
ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 broadcast 255.255.255.255 netmask 0.0.0.0
and it returns:
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: Cannot assign requested address
SIOCSIFNETMASK: Cannot assign requested address
Does anyone know whats wrong? Attached are my boot messages and my .config
