Subject:   I have a patch for rc.network to allow specifying DHCP in rc.conf
Message-ID:  <199803180248.UAA00264@dcarmich.pr.mcs.net>

I took the DHCP if part out of /etc/pccard_ether.
(Is the dhcpc program normally in /usr/local/sbin?)

You may commit this patch if you want to, but tell me first.
Please reply to dcarmich@mcs.com directly (I'm not on the mailing list).

This patch is against a 2.2.5-RELEASE rc.network file.
