The LFS book covers setting up networking by connecting to a LAN
|
|
with a static IP address. There are other methods used to obtain
|
|
an IP address and connect to a LAN and other networks (such as
|
|
the internet). The most popular method is DHCP.

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a
|
|
protocol used by many sites to automatically provide information
|
|
such as IP addresses, subnet masks and routing information to
|
|
computers. If your network uses DHCP, you will need a DHCP client
|
|
in order to connect to it.

In order to use DHCP, you will need a DHCP client,
|
|
<ulink url="&lfs-website;/blfs/view/svn/basicnet/dhcpcd.html">
|
|
dhcpcd</ulink>. You may also be wanting to connect to the
|
|
internet wirelessly. In order to do that, you should first
|
|
configure the kernel to support that, the instructions for
|
|
that being at
|
|
<ulink url="&lfs-website;/blfs/view/svn/basicnet/wireless-kernel.html"/>.
|
|
After that, you will need a tool to connect to the internet, suitable
|
|
ones being

<ulink url="&lfs-website;/blfs/view/svn/basicnet/wpa_supplicant.html">

wpa_supplicant</ulink>.
|
|
You will only need one of those, whichever one is up to you.
