Description Bas Westerbaan 2007-08-31 14:14:21 UTC

When dhcp was updated from 3.0.6 to 3.1.0 dhcdbd malfunctions causing NetworkManager to revert to autoip which means no working IP address.  /var/log/messages excerpt:

 Aug 31 15:54:31 t60bw NetworkManager: <info>  Activation (eth1) Stage 3 of 5 (IP Configure Start) started...
 Aug 31 15:54:32 t60bw NetworkManager: <info>  Activation (eth1) Beginning DHCP transaction.
 Aug 31 15:54:32 t60bw NetworkManager: <info>  Activation (eth1) Stage 3 of 5 (IP Configure Start) complete.
 Aug 31 15:54:32 t60bw NetworkManager: <info>  DHCP daemon state is now 12 (successfully started) for interface eth1
 Aug 31 15:54:32 t60bw dhcdbd: Unrequested down ?:3
 Aug 31 15:54:32 t60bw NetworkManager: <info>  DHCP daemon state is now 14 (normal exit) for interface eth1

When reverted back to 3.0.6 everything works fine again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




dhcdbd-2.8-r1 was used

This was a known issue with NetworkManager. The NetworkManager ebuild should be updated with a dep on dhcp < 3.1.0 to ensure newer is not used.

Preferably, a patch to NetworkManager to make dhcp 3.1.0 play nice with it...
