[ale] dhclient

[Chris Fowler]

It seems like I must assign some arbitrary IP address to eth0 before I can use dhclient.  Does that sound normal?

I'm using dhclient on boot up on a small device to obtain network settings.  Dhclient works on my development system but states that no broadcast devices are available.  What do I need to do to provide a broadcast device?

Thanks,
