Description Jonas 2007-07-23 19:06:49 UTC 
Due to the new "-x" flag for dhclient the D-Bus interface dhcdbd stops working and in turn NetworkManager fails to recieve an IP via DHCP.

Important log messages:
NetworkManager: <info>  DHCP daemon state is now 12 (successfully started) for interface eth0
NetworkManager: <info>  DHCP daemon state is now 14 (normal exit) for interface eth0

To fix this, dhcdbd has to be compiled with the CFLAG option:
-DDHCLIENT_EXTENDED_OPTION_ENVIRONMENT=0

To fix the bug, add this to dhcdbd-2.8-r1.ebuild:
src_compile() {
        emake RPM_OPT_FLAGS="-DDHCLIENT_EXTENDED_OPTION_ENVIRONMENT=0 " || die
}

Note:
The RPM_OPT_FLAGS sets extra CFLAGS within the Makefile of dhcdbd.

After adding this (and re-emerging/restarting dhcdbd), everything works fine again.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install net-misc/dhcp-3.1.0 when using net-misc/networkmanager-0.6.5 and net-misc/dhcdbd-2.8-r1
2. Try to recieve an IP via DHCP with NetworkManager
