[oe] Kernel Configuration - what affect the way ethernet port functions

[Stuart Gray]

Hi,

Is there anything in the kernel set up apart from including the smsc911
module by default that would affect the way that the port is set up when it
is a DHCP Client i.e. it receives its IP Address from a router.

I am getting the broadcast address set to 0.0.0.0.

If this is not kernel related then are there any flags that require to be
set that control hos the smsc91C11 part functions?

I really need help to resolve this issue.

Cheers,
Stuart
