hello all,

Whats the difference between dhclient and dhcpcd, and why does one work
and not the other depending on what network I'm on?

AFAICS dhcpcd takes an interface down and dhclient doesnt, and dhclient
enjoys taking lo down and therefore I have to route add localhost lo and
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up when I use it...

have fun,
