missing kernel options 2.6.24 dhcpcd problem [solved]

[kevinsgs]

Hi I am having problems getting dhcpcd to start I am assuming I am missing some networking kernel options however this is a fresh install and I have no old .config to copy from.

I enabled the obvious ipv4 but still get an error during runlevel3 when dhcpcd tries to start on eth0. I also get the same error if i run dhcpcd eth0 manually.

Error, eth0: socket: Address family not supported by protocol

I have never run into this problem before but I had noticed I had to enable allot more stuff like pci and unix sockets that were not enabled by default.


Basically I am asking what needs to be enabled to get dhcpcd to work correctly.
I have searched for almost an hour reading about manually configuring the kernel and can find nothing.

Edit: I also enabled the following and it still gives the same error.
Networking
->Networking support
-> Networking options
-> TCP/IP networking
-> IP: kernel level autoconfiguration
-> IP: DHCP support

Edit again: Fixed it I had to enable the following and now it works T.T I feel like a nub. (was a guess too btw)

Networking
->Networking support
-> Networking options
-> Packet Socket
