Netcfg and DHCP_OPTIONS/IFOPTS

I've been using netcfg, decided to dump wicd as not necessary. This morning when trying to connect to the LAN at my university's engineering labs, the DHCP server wasn't giving me any response so I had to manually use a static IP/DNS/gateway. Anyway, I did this manually using dhcpcd, then figure to create a network profile for it, but couldn't find out from the examples/wiki how to pass options to dhcpcd.

In the end, a google search led me to DHCP_OPTIONS, but also I saw that at some time previously there was a 'complete' example in /etc/network.d/examples, my install doesn't have it though. The wiki doesn't completely document the options for profiles in netcfg, either. Where's the correct place to find out all the possible options and settings for my profiles?

Re: Netcfg and DHCP_OPTIONS/IFOPTS

Yes, complete.example does appear to have gone missing. I'm not sure why, I haven't been able to find a definitive guide to all the available options.
