[linux-tr] DHCP and MULTICAST

[David Pineau <David.Pineau@hwcn.org>]

(Apologies if this is in a FAQ somewhere - I'm new to this list.)

I am looking to run DHCPd (DHCP server) on my Linux box, connected to a
token-ring network using an IBM 16/4 T-R adapter.  However the
DHCP how-to clearly states MULTICAST is required for DHCPd.  The
drivers/net/README.multicast file shows the following:

Board		Multicast	AllMulti	Promisc		Filter
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ibmtr		NO		NO		NO		N/A

Also, I've re-compiled my kernel to include multicast support, but when
doing an 'ifconfig -a', I don't get the word 'MULTICAST' in the output.

Does this mean that I can't use DHCPd? (i.e. that my t-r linux box can't
be a DHCP server?)

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
