Is it possible to invoke dhcp with an argument to ifconfig like:

ifconfig eth0 dhcp

or is it possible to have netcardconfig automatically invoke dhcp broadcast without promting for it?

what I,m trying to do is append a couple of commands to knoppix.sh on my hard drive so that my network card will work.

right now I have:

modprobe 8139too
netcardconfig

Netcard config prompts for dhcp broadcast (yes). I want to just type

knoppix myconfig=scan

and have everything ready after initializations.
