Hate to say it, but even Red Hat is having trouble with DHCP and PCMCIA

I just switched out my generic PCMCIA 10/100 card for a D-Link DFE-650TX card (something on the supported list). As it would turn out, I -still- can't get dhcpcd or pump to grab an IP. At least with pump, I see the messages where it gets an offer, but the offer is never accepted for one reason or another. With dhcpcd, it just seems to sit there like a bump on a log then finally times out. I had these same troubles with the previous card which is why I switched to this D-Link. I even went so far as to re-extract the pcmcia-cs v3.1.6 package and recompile (plus a fresh copy of 8390.c and 8390.h). I have not yet forced a specific IP as I am not wanting to have it set up this way to begin with. I am certain that the card will work fine once I manually set it's IP, however. Any help will be appreciated.

Message Administration

This form allows you to delete, move, or copy one or more messages. You can move messages by copying and deleting the original. The action will be applied to the messages you select above and all replies to those selected messages.

If you want to copy or move messages, specify the HyperNews path of a destination forum or message that all messages will be copied or moved to. The destination must already exist, so maybe create it first.

Path of Destination (a Forum or Message): (e.g. "test")

Notify Subscribers at destination
NO

If you want to delete messages (the default), specify that here. If you want to move messages, you need to delete the original messages; placeholders will be left pointing to where they were moved.

Delete Messages
NO

Caution: After deleteing messages (the default), if you have not copied them (i.e. no destination above), then the selected messages are not be recoverable.
