[K12OSN] Error! dhcpcd failed!

[Shane Sammons]

Yes it does, and I can configure it, that is actually how I got the error
out of it and found the switch is rebooting itself with a transmissions
error. I googled for the default IP to see if that is problem, I will check
on Monday about a firmware update as well.

I will keep you all up to date, and thanks.
