Description:   Opened: 2006-08-13 14:54 0000 
The dhclient module works correctly in baselayout-1.11.15-r3 .  It is seriously
broken in baselayout-1.12.4-r2 . Version 1.12.1 as the portage digests are
broken for it, even after emerge --sync.

Problems:
    (1) The interface is not specified by the rc scripts when calling dhclient.
 (See bug 130670 ). For example, eth0 will come up when starting eth1.

    (2) The setup script is no longer passed to dhclient (and is no longer
present in ebuild), originally:
    -sf /lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/helpers.d/dhclient-ifconfig
So, dhclient has no default way to initialize the interface, routes, and
resolv.conf .

Why is this stable?!!

Above, meant to say that "I don't know if version 1.12.1 has dhclient support
broken as the portage digests are broken for it, even after emerge --sync".

From /etc/conf.d/net :

modules=( "dhclient" )
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhclient_eth0=("-cf /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf")
config_eth1=( "dhcp" )
dhclient_eth1=("-cf /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf")
config_eth2=( "dhcp" )
dhclient_eth2=("-cf /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf")

baselayout-1.12.4-r3 has fixed dhclient support for > 1 interface 130670.

However, we require dhcp-3.0.3-r9 which has dhclient's own script patched up to
fully configure your interface, thus removing lots of cruft from baselayout.

dhcp-3.0.3-r9 is stable on all arches.
