   Added the following lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf:   
      
   # IPv4 config options for eth126:   
   IPADDRS[126]=""   
   USE_DHCP[126]="yes"   
   # IPv6 config options for eth126:   
   IP6ADDRS[126]=""   
   USE_SLAAC[126]=""   
   USE_DHCP6[126]=""   
   # Generic options for eth126:   
   DHCP_HOSTNAME[126]=""   
      
   (Please see above follow-ups for the value eth126, instead of former eth2)   
   After restart, had to use, as before, the dhcpcd command to get an   
   IP address.
