Hi Folks,

After a disk crash I setup the box from 2006.1 stage3, my NIC is a "Broadcom Corporation BCM4401" (b44 driver) and I am running kernel 2.6.19-gentoo-r1.

I start dhcp ( net-misc/dhcpcd-3.0.1) and can see DHCP_OFFER Pakets on the eth0 interface with wireshark but the client is not picking them up.
After running into the timeout the interface is up but has no ip assigned

Try dhcpcd-3.0.5, as that has no reported issues.
