DHCP in armStoneA8

    Hello,


    I'm trying to configure the eth0 in dhcp for do that I'm editing the file:


    /etc/network/interfaces


    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet dhcp


    Then I restart my network:


    /etc/init.d/S40network start


    But when I do that, I have this response:
    udhcpc:socket: Address family not supported by protocol


    What I'm doing wrong?


    Thanks and regards

    Hi,


    the busybox udhcpc uses af_packet, a kernel module. This wasn't enabled in the fs.net default config, I enabled it, and my wlan+dhcp worked.
    -> Networking support (NET [=y])
    -> Networking options
    -> Packet Socket [y] <-- should be enabled


    Hope this helps
    Best regards

    Hello,


    yes, this is the kernel .config file you have to change. You can do this with "make menuconfig". There you have to enable the <<Packet Socket [y]>> module.
    A liitle bit more about building the kernel is described in the README from fs-net.


    Best regards
