Hi!
Back in July, when version 3.0+3.0.1rc11-5 of the dhcp3-client package
came out, I noticed that my notebook no longer worked together with the
DHCP server. I investigated a bit, but at that time it was easier for
me to revert back to version 3.0+3.0.1rc11-4 and wait till somebody
else reports the problem and the problem gets fixed. This was an ill
idea as the problem exists till today. Ok, lesson learnt, here we go.
If I do
# dhclient eth0
that results amongst other (usual) messages in
receive_packet failed on eth0: Network is down
and
send_packet: Network is down
If I first do:
# ifconfig eth0 up
and then
# dhclient eth0
it works. The file /etc/network/interfaces contains the lines
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
As mentioned above, with version 3.0+3.0.1rc11-4 it worked. To me, it
looks like dhclient previously did the "ifconfig eth0 up" itself, but
no expects somebody else to do it, but nobody does.
Any ideas?
