[Voyage-linux] Having trouble with DHCP settings

[Arun Reddy]

Hi Punky,

The output of ifconfig eth0 gives: "error fetching interface information:
Device not found."

The output of dhclient eth0 gives: "eth0 ERROR while getting interface
flags: No such device
Bind socket to interface: No such device"

I have read some posts on those leases. I tried editing the
/etc/dnsmasq.more.conf and made sure all the lines were uncommented. And
this configuration is called within /etc/dnsmasq.conf. Unfortunately it
still doesn't detect dhcp.

Do you know what else I must do? Thanks.
