dhclient fails after kernel recompilation

[Igor Pesando - Dep. Th. Phys. Turin University]

Hi *,
this is my problem:
1) if I use the kernel which comes with debian dhclient works perfectly
2) I recompile the kernel with dhcp support but dhclient fails.

I used strace to understand why and I discovered that:

setsockopt(8, SOL_SOCKET, 0x1a /* SO_??? */, [1074921483], 8) = -1
ENOPROTOOPT (Protocol not available)

then I checked the symbols exported by the kernel having something to do
with setsockopt in System.map
and I found that in the official version and in my version
they are the same but
nf_setsockopt
which is associated with NAT.

Any clue? Suggestions?

Igor

PS The same happens with vanilla kernels from kernel.org

Did u set CONFIG_PACKET and CONFIG_SOCKET in your kernel?
(i am not 100% sure if these are the correct keywords, but i had a problem
with DHCP earlier this week after install of a new kernel. turned out to
be the problem that these 2 were not set in my kernelconfig..)

You need to say Y or M (and remember to load the modules) for
CONFIG_PACKET and CONFIG_SOCKET.
