 # dhclient-script for Linux. Dan Halbert, March, 1997.
 # Updated for Linux 2.[12] by Brian J. Murrell, January 1999.
-# No guarantees about this. I'm a novice at the details of Linux
-# networking.
+
+# Updated to iproute2 by Jim Gifford (scripts@jg555.com)
 
 # Notes:
 
 # 0. This script is based on the netbsd script supplied with dhcp-970306.
-
-# 1. ifconfig down apparently deletes all relevant routes and flushes
-# the arp cache, so this doesn't need to be done explicitly.
-
-# 2. The alias address handling here has not been tested AT ALL.
-# I'm just going by the doc of modern Linux ip aliasing, which uses
-# notations like eth0:0, eth0:1, for each alias.
-
-# 3. I have to calculate the network address, and calculate the broadcast
-# address if it is not supplied. This might be much more easily done
-# by the dhclient C code, and passed on.
-
-# 4. TIMEOUT not tested. ping has a flag I don't know, and I'm suspicious
-# of the $1 in its args.
+# 1. This script was modified to work with iproute2
+# 2. cidr_convert based on a script by Kevin Fleming (kpfleming@linuxfromscratch.org)
+# 3. Updated to delete addresses when taking an interface down (bdubbs@linuxfromscratch.org)
