Aren't you basically implying that the in-kernel DHCP client and NFS mounting should be removed from the kernel too? I'd agree with that; it's the trend. But it seems pretty harsh to say "you can do DHCP+NFS now, but if you want to set the MAC address too, then you have to reimplement DHCP+NFS a completely different way from scratch first". -- Jamie -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
