ethernet probs still...help me in person??

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

Again, I would try doing a dhclient by hand in debug mode and see what 
happens. If you have an ethernet address on eth0, then it shows that your 
dhclient worked. You may need to further configure your dhclient. Not being 
familiar with the PPC, you need to make sure that dhclient is sending the 
correct MAC address (eg. ethernet address) to the dhcp server.
