[KLUG Members] 2.6.6 trouble with DHCP

[rick]

I am getting an error using DHCP with a newly compiled 2.6.6 kernel on 
Debian unstable. 

The error is:
socket: Address family not supported by protocol
Make sure to set CONFIG_PACKET=y and CONFIG_FILTER=y in your kernel 
configuration!
exiting.
Failed to bring up eth0. 

So I tried adding CONFIG_FILTER=y but then I get an error that I am trying 
to use an invalid symbol when I make the kernel again. I see people getting 
this error on older versions of the kernel, but none with 2.6. I am assuming 
the the CONFIG_FILTER is no longer an option, but when then should I be 
using? 

Here is the network section of my config. If I set up eth0 as static it 
works fine so this is just a dhcp problem. Of course I use my laptop in 4 
different networks so I like dhcp :-) 

Thanks for any help.
