There is a problem then i try use net-misc/dhcp-3.1.1 in Gentoo to obtain ip
address :
# dhcpcd eth1
err, eth1: cannot request a link local address
err, eth1: cannot request a link local address
err, eth1: cannot request a link local address
...
The 169.254.0.0/16 set as local sublet in /etc/networks:
# /etc/networks
#
# This file describes a number of netname-to-adress
# mappings for the TCP/IP subsytem. It is mostly
# used at boot time, when no name servers are running.
#
loopback 127.0.0.0
link-local 169.254.0
So i think, the best way to use dhcp in synce-hal is add
DEPEND="net-misc/dhcp" in ebuild.
