[SATLUG] BootP woes

[Henry Pugsley]

Your second range statement will not get used unless the first range
runs out of addresses.  You should move the dynamic-bootp to the first
range statement, or statically assign IP addresses to bootp clients.
I probably should have asked this before, what chipset does that NIC
use, and are you sure if it uses DHCP, BOOTP or both?
