dhcpcd-scriptconfig is a modified version of dhcpcd designed to do all configuration with scripts. The goals are to make a fully extensible DHCP client, to simplify the code inside of the DHCP client itself, and to improve platform independence.

These modifications are by Scott Gifford .

This software is based on dhcpcd-1.3.20-pl0, maintained by Sergei Viznyuk. It is available at:

    http://www.phystech.com/download/dhcpcd.html

Prior to that, it was maintained by Yoichi Hariguchi.

Any bugs in the new version are almost certainly my fault, and neither of these authors should be bothered by them.

Because this is a fairly radical change to dhcpcd, and is still quite experimental, I decided to spin it off into a seperate project to see how things go. Sergei is doing a great job of maintaining the stable version of dhcpcd, and if you're looking for stability, use his version.

If you're a bit more adventurous, though, try this out.

• Download the most recent configuration scripts for Linux (dhcpcd-scripts-linux-0.1.tar.gz). 7911 bytes.

Requirements

• Linux (should work with other OS's soon, hopefully)
• A big-endian platform, such as x86 (should be fixed soon, too)
• A network interface of some kind
• A DHCP server somewhere that you are a client of
• A reasonable compiler and C library.
• Tested on:
  • RedHat Linux 6.2, 7.2

Compiling

Future

Features that I'd like to include in a future release of dhcpcd-scriptconfig are better cross-platform support, more and better plug-in scripts, and removal of code that is now handled by scripts.

I also plan to sync up to recent updates in the official dhcpcd.

If you have any suggestions that aren't in that file, please email me and let me know.
