Re: Problem with DHCP when using tokenring on 2.4.x

The problem is probably caused by a change that was made around
kernel 2.3.29. The hardware type of a tokenring adapter was changed
from ARPHRD_IEEE802 to ARPHRD_IEEE802_TR. That breaks pump and the
ISC dhcp package. So pump from RH6.2 certainly won't work.

Fixing the ISC dhcp package is easy. Maybe it has been fixed
on the ISC site by now. Don't know about pump.
 

Patch for the ISC package:
