using redhat 7.0, though this might not matter much due to the nature of my
question.
I have two network cards both with static ip address for a private network.
both were configured using /sbin/ifconfig.

using ifconfig i set the ip adderss, netmask, and broadcast and both
interfaces work just fine.

my question is,  is there a way to set one of the interfaces to respond as a
dhcp client via command line using ifconfig?

the goal here is to connect one of the interfaces to receive an ip address
via a cable modem.

thankyou.
