emerge -uavDnN world

Emerges (inter alia) net-misc/dhcpcd-3.2.3

Actual behaviour


dhcpcd fails to get an IP address on booting both for wireless and Ethernet connections both on my x86 laptop and on my AMD-64 desktop


Fix 1 - manual network configuration
Fix 2 - mask =net-misc/dhcpcd-3.2.3 in /etc/protage/package.mask, then 'emerge -C =net-misc/dhcpcd; then 'emerge -uavDnN net-misc/dhcpd' and then net-misc/dhcpcd-3.1.5-r1 is installed - seems to work fine.

Comment 1 Rod Butler 2008-03-29 16:47:48 UTC

Same problem here. I never get an IP (from my router's DHCP server). I can manually configure eth0 and access the router and Internet. I did a "emerge --sync" and "emerge -u world" today, March 29,2008. which is when I upgraded to net-misc/dhcpcd  3.2.3 and started having problem. I do not know the last version of dhcpcd I had but it would have been early to mid 2007 or so and it worked.

Comment 2 Roy Marples 2008-03-29 20:06:44 UTC

Upgrade the kernel to a less buggy one as the packet filter was broken in kernels 2.6.19 and fixed in 2.6.24.

Comment 3 Tiago Marques 2008-03-31 19:32:13 UTC

I also have the same problem.
If that is the fix, then it should be required to emerge kernel 2.6.24 before allowing this version to be installed.

Comment 4 Christoph Brill (egore) (RESIGNED) 2008-04-02 12:28:57 UTC

I'm facing a similar issue. I upgraded my amd64 box from dhcpcd-3.1.5-r1 to 3.2.3. I'm running a 2.6.21 kernel and I CAN'T upgrade, since I'm running a xen-kernel.

I put anything newer than 3.1.5-r1 into package.mask for now as a workaround. But what's the long term solution? Fixing 2.6.21-xen?

Comment 5 Roy Marples 2008-04-02 12:57:36 UTC

You can apply the kernel patch found here to fix the issue.

Comment 6 Erik Dielen 2008-04-05 11:38:26 UTC

Hi,

Just upgraded my kernel to 2.6.24-gentoo-r4. I verified that the patch mentioned by Roy Marples was in net/packet/af_packet.c. That patch is indeed available in 2.6.24-r4.

Yet dhcpcd-3.2.3 will still not get an IP number... So I reverted back to 3.1.5-r1 once again.

Comment 7 Juan 2008-04-08 00:07:34 UTC

This is affecting me too.  Using 3.1.5-r1 fixed the problem.

I am running amd64 on kernel 2.6.19-gentoo-r5.

Comment 8 Alexander Mikhalev 2008-05-06 09:43:31 UTC

Same here. On amd64

I fixed it by
emerge =net-misc/dhcpcd-2.0.5-r1 -av  
At least I know this version works.

Comment 9 Roy Marples 2008-05-06 09:50:20 UTC

Anyone with this bug care to test dhcpcd-4.0.0_beta1 to see if this has been fixed? Ebuilds can be found on bug #219321.

With dhcpcd-3.2.3 I had to enable the vram USE flag (to disable DUID) to get it to work with a Solaris 8 DHCP server; this might work with other servers too.

Unfortunately dhcpcd-4.0.0_beta1 breaks DHCP with the same server, even though DUID is disabled by default; I'll look into this further.

If the compat USE flag is enabled AND the DUID file exists (now /etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd.duid) then DUID is enabled by default. This is done to retain compat with existing dhcpcd-3 clients who had DUID enabled by default.

Comment 12 L.J. 2008-05-21 02:28:13 UTC

Stopped working after dhcpcd-4.0.0_beta3 and beta4. Kernel is 2.6.25-r4 with module r8169 for ethernet.

I'm supposed to auto-merge:
1) /etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd.sh (1)
2) /etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-exit-hook.d/ypbind.sh (1)
right? It just seems silly to not to...

Anyone who has dhcpcd-4 NOT working (ie getting a lease - I know there is a bug with routing in beta4) then please ATTACH your kernel config and state which kernel sources you are using. Also, ATTACH a tcpdump (with -s 0 -w /tmp/foo -i eth0) or wireshark trace of dhcpcd trying the transaction.

ATTACHING is important. no-one wants to scroll past screen after screen of emerge --info output.

I realized that my situation is completely different this one bug, so I filed a new <a href="http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=223141">bug #223141</a>

[14:33] <rsmarples> dberkholz (or anyone with a bugzie dev account): be a darling and close bugs #215295, #216005, #217666 and #222381 as dhcpcd-4 is now in stable and closes those issues
