I downloaded Guix and tried to install it but DHCLIENT times out and 
does not set up the NIC card.  This command worked fine on my hardware 
with ver 0.8.1. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Maybe you need set up the NIC first?
(at least, I need)

Right, you need to run:

  ifconfig eth0orwhatever up

before running:

  dhclient -v eth0orwhatever

HTH,

Success!
Thank you very much for your quick response.

Who is the person who maintains the Reference Manual.
I could forward this email to them.
These extra clarifications were very useful.

Great.

It is “us,” you included.  ;-)

Sure.  A patch against the doc/guix.texi file would be welcome.

Thanks!

I went ahead and committed a documentation patch in 152dd61.

However, looking more closely (in QEMU), I noticed that
‘dhcp-client-service’ also needs to set the interfaces up before calling
‘dhclient’, hence commit 9bb34f9.

Now, I wonder what has changed.  I recall that this was not needed in
the past, so perhaps a change in Linux-libre 4.0.2 made interfaces down
by default or something like that.  Any ideas?

Ludo’.

Thanks for the documentation update.

You are exactly right.
Running "ifconfig eth0orwhatever up" was not needed in 0.8.1

I will do some looking around and see if this service is mentioned by 
other users of Linux-libre.
