cable modems and linux
Does anyone have advice for setting up a cable modem under linux? I've
tried and failed several times, mainly because Redhat uses pump instead of
dhcpd. I've tried setting up a dhcpd client with no luck, simply timeouts
when it goes for an IP. I'm looking at getting a cable modem but since
there's a Windows box nowhere to be found in my apartment, I can't get
that working and then switch over to linux once the tech leaves. I need
to be able to plug the cable modem in and get it working so the tech
doesn't start blaming me when it doesn't work (been there before). Any
advice? I went to techrepublic.com as someone had suggested but I
couldn't find the HOWTO.
