Stock from Slackware ->
dhcpcd 5.2.11

And yes since I tried swapping the interface I have to use
DHCP since there's no other way to obtain an IP address
from my cable modem.

(LAN 1 card, static IP's or dhcp for guests,
DSL dhcp from provider)

I don't know if you read my original post, in there
you'll find what I was on about.

It is.
Yesterday the system started freezing randomly, then
I finally got the icing :
'Bios checksum error, please insert blabla to restore'

And no, it doesn't restore anything, following the guidelines
in the Manual :-(

So the board is F***ED :-(

SNAFU
