Hello,
dhcpd-1.3.6 works quite fine for me on ethernet-networks. The Problem with 2.1 and DHCP-clients is, that they use the 0.0.0.0 IP-address for making DHCP-Requests, when no IP-Address is assigned, but the 2.1 IP-networking-code interprets this address as an request to delete an interface. dhcpd-1.3.6 is modified by Sergei Viznyuk <sviznyuk@columbus.rr.com> to use Packet-Sockets (PF_PACKET) when generating DHCP-Requests, so the kernel-IP-code is not involved. Of course this adds extra complexity when dealing with other interface-types than ethernet, that is only one supported in this version.
