Worked, thankyou!

Worked, thankyou!

I had a poke around in there, but keep getting errors about dhcp_client
script or something.  I uncommented that in the Makefile and tried
again, but this time more errors, this time about a missing ifconfig
something or other.

I'll need to spend a little more time studying the build process.

Cheers
