Subject: [bug#71561] [PATCH 2/2] doc: Prepend ISC to DHCP client references.
Date: Mon, 17 Jun 2024 20:49:13 -0400

This makes it clearer that this service uses the ISC's dhclient implementation
and does not support DHCP clients that have different command line interfaces.

* doc/guix.texi (Networking Setup): Prepend ISC to all DHCP client references.
