SubjectRE: DHCP in the kernel
Date
IP configuration, such as that, has been relegated to userland, where it
belongs. There exists (somewhere, i am sure) a userspace dhcp client for IP
configuration.

So, yes, kernel-level IP autoconfiguration is gone forever -- but the
alternative userspace implementation is the Right Thing.
