Hello *, I am trying to support DHCP for ethernet sub-interfaces(eth0:0, eth0:1...) in Linux 2.4.x The idea that I have in mind is to modify the DHCP client code to generate pseudo MAC addresses (or client id - which is a 32 bit field in the DHCP header) for each sub-interface. The issue of ensuring that each client machine uses separate pseudo address needs to be tackled (but I am assuming that with few machines and a good random number, this is not a problem). And when the DHCP server replies with an offer, the kernel in the client has to map the reply to the appropriate sub-interface... Any other ideas will be appreciated. Also, which particular files in the kernel source do I need to fiddle with to do the mapping I mentioned above ? Thanks in adv, Subhash -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
