I've recently discovered weird problems with 2.0.5-r1 (which is quite old now) and various (office) routers in the case that a previous IP (assigned by a DHCP server from a different net) has been cached. (roadwarrior scenario) With my zyxel DSL-Router (P660H-HW-W_T) I get: gentoo: DHCP Request (old-ip) zyxel: DHCP ACK (new-ip, new-defaultroute, new-dns, ..) which results in gentoo (dhcpcd-2.0.5-r1) assuming that it received an acknowledge for old-ip and configuring the interface as ip = old-ip, broadcast = new-broadcast With a wachguard firebox at my company's office I get a similar behaviour, i. e. new-ip is correctly assigned, but a few moments later gentoo/dhcpcd falls back to the original address. I haven't traced down the second case with wireshark yet, but I assume that watchguard sends an offer for new-ip which results in new-ip for a short period of time and then an acknowledge which triggers the "fallback" to old-ip In both cases deleting /var/lib/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0* before running dhcpcd (or /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart) again solves the problem. But in both cases updating dhcpcd to 3.0.11 _also_ solves the problem. Maybe because the cache is no longer used and dhcpcd _always_ "discovers" first, i. e. behaves like no address has been assigned before. I've successfully tested 3.0.11 on x86 (after updating world) using the following network adapters/drivers - intel e1000 - broadcom tg3 - ipw2200 (using WPA/wpa_supplicant) - ipw3945 (using WPA/wpa_supplicant) and my zyxel DSL-router. I hope -- I pretty much expect so -- that the problem with the watchguard DHCP server is also solved by the update. Cheers Axel P.S.: It is possible that the problem occured for the first time when I started to use "ifplugd", i. e. when the interface is UP but not configured when "dhcpcd" is launched.
Need to give it a little more time. Packages should be in the tree for 30 days before being stabled, and dhcpcd-3 is still missing the mips keyword :/
3.0.14 fixes a crash on 0 or invalid length dhcp options, so we need more time I'm afraid.
3.0.14 didn't like MTU options.
I've recently updated my dhcpcd-3.0.10 to dhcpcd-3.0.15 and I have following problem: When I start dhcpcd I get: # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start * Starting eth0 * Bringing up eth0 * dhcp * Running dhcpcd ...

Please create a new bug for that and state dhcp server, version and configured options. Thanks

Go for it arch teams!
sparc stable.
Stable for HPPA.
x86 + ia64 stable
Hi, just out of curiosity ... What do these "stable on arch" messages imply? - marked stable in CVS? ==> sparc and HPPA are, x86 and ia64 are not - (likely to be) marked stable on the mirrors? Cheers Axel
(In reply to comment #11) > What do these "stable on arch" messages imply? That the arch teams have tested tested a specific version and found it to be stable to their satisfaction on their CPU architecture. Code for x86 (ie pentiums, athlons) doesn't always work on say sparc64. http://devmanual.gentoo.org/keywording/
Yeah, thanks! I think I understand this ~arch/arch thing in general. What I was refering to is the underlying workflow, i. e. if a developers posts "stable on ..." to bugzilla, does this mean that -- beside of a successful test -- the ebuild in CVS has also been updated? Or in other words: How much time later can "emerge --sync" to be expected to reflect the change? I know that this discussion is quite "off topic", but I would like to close the bug which I can't as long as 3.0.16 isn't stable on the mirrors ... Thanks and sorry for being "off topic" Axel P. S.: Just noticed that x86 and ia64 are now also stable in CVS

OK, no more questions left open ... ... and time to thank you guys at gentoo for your excellent work! I'm really enjoying to work with it and I hope that you'll never give up on it -- regardless of whatever discord may sometimes arise in the user and/or developer community. Axel :-)

Mark -r1 stable instead as it needed a patch for crappy DHCP servers that stupidly think they need to respect the mininum BOOTP message size of 300 bytes that seem to be in cheap SOHO routers.
Stable on MIPS.

With dhcpcd 3.0.16-r1 I get an mtu too low (64) by the provider. Using dhclient from net-misc/dhcp I get the usual 1500 one :) Cheers!
Stop creating noise on this bug please. The MTU is being set by your buggy router. dhcpcd-3.0.17 now ignores values lower than 576 instead of setting 576 when it's too low.
alpha stable, thanks Tobias.
