dhclient equivalent?

[imported_seven]

I finally got my eth1 to showup under ifconfig by doing

modprobe e100

now if i do

ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth1 up

it is activated but there is no IP. how do i use dhcp to obtain necessary information?

dhclient command is not recognized. is there an alternative?
i can do ipconfig eth1 192.168.0.105 but i would rather use dhcp on startup than having a temporary ip.

any suggestions?

yes it's not installed in BT we use
dhcpcd eth0

i use dhcpcd -n eth0 (cause to close dhcpcd process if running before run a new one)

hope helps
u can use wifimanager too .....

oh that halped so much thank you!

i just needed that command because i could not find an application to switch from wired to wireless so i had to do it manually.

unless i just havent seen it yet, then maybe a tip on where i could find it would be nice heh.


p.s i love this distro for some reason. too bad it cant be a standalone ( well, it's the only os on my laptop ) os. It would be great if it came with all the other functions as a normal desktop distro. i guess i gotta dual boot this with mandriva or suse. not sure yet heh~

Many people have asked the question about making BT2 their "main" or "primary" distro. While it might be possible, it is not really designed as such, and I seriously doubt that there will be any such development. It is quite obviously narrowly focused for pentesting purposes, and would take a lot of (unnecessary) work to get it to do "other" stuff.

yes i think best choice is double boot ubuntu feisty(7.04) and BT2......personnaly i've got UBUNTU+BT2+XP
