To get YDL to obtain the necessary information to connect via DHCP:
1. ifconfig eth0 up
2a. netconfig
2b. check []Use DHCP (or whatever it says regarding DHCP
2c. tab over to OK and hit enter. The computer should now be ready to
connect via PPPoE (DHCP)
3. ifconfig (check that the connection to the DHCP server worked)
4. shutdown -r now
The above steps worked for me under YDL 1.2.1, but should work under
1.1. The one thing I cannot figure out is how to set the DHCP client
ID (broadcast hostname). If you or someone else can figure this out,
please let me know.
