Hello Maurice,

I just booted my first lfs build yesterday. Linux 6.1.2, bash 5.2.15 and a recent version of vim. What a beautiful thing.. :)

I have no network support since I haven't yet installed a config in
/etc/sysconfig. When booting and udev starts up I see it has loaded the e1001e
module and that is what I need for network support. I just need to add a *.eth0 to setup the network (I think).

The lfs website has an example config but it uses static IPs and mine is dynamic, my slackware setup gets the IP with dhcpcd but I don't see a network config file for it, so I'm not sure what it would look like.

I wonder if I need to install and setup dhcpcd (beyond lfs talks about that) but I wonder if I can use the current setup to get my IP from dhcp?

Any advice?
