I just bought a laptop and I can't make it use DHCP.  It's driving me batty.
I'm using 4.1-Release on a P3 laptop with a PCMCIA 3Com 3c589 ethernet card.
It seems to detect the ethernet card just fine, but when I try to configure the
network interface, it never locates any DHCP servers.  Other systems haven't
had this problem (OpenBSD does just fine, but it's not as friendly and I can't
find the dvorak keymap on it).  Any ideas as to what I should try next?

Thanks!

Mark
