Sure... I'm on Comcast cable modem with DHCP and so long as I have the
chkconfig for autoconfig_ipaddress set to "on" then it'll work. In the
case of Comcast the DHCP wants to set the hostname as well and that was
just plain ugly.
I created a simple script that got run after proclaim (to get the
address) that sets the name to what I wanted. Worked fine.
The only catch seemed to be setting the default route in
/etc/config/static-route.options as that needs to be set properly as
well. Getting it right wasn't easy without a hex-bin calculator to
figure out the gateway, but that may be Comcast as well.
