I believe if you have zcip installed, it should get an IP address assigned, 
however:

&gt;<i> - CORRECTION : launch &quot;avahi-autoipd ethX&quot;

I think we should be using avahi-autipd instead of zcip.

</I>&gt;<i>

initscripts. See line 380 of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-eth

&gt;<i> 2. Does anyone with drakxtools knowledge think it can be patched it to do

</I>
Sure, the script above could have zcip replaced with avahi-autoipd. However, 
the man page for avahi-autoipd points one at this wiki page: 
<A HREF="http://avahi.org/wiki/AvahiAutoipd">http://avahi.org/wiki/AvahiAutoipd</A>

which recommends using the DHCP plugin instead. Maybe you could experiment, 
and see exactly what is necessary (sorry, all my wifi networks have DHCP 
servers).

Buchan
