Description Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belon 2010-08-04 15:02:45 UTC

kernel 2.6.35, currently in ~amd64 uses a dynamic buffer which will then prevent dhcpd for working as reported in :

  http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6374908.html?sid=2cc6270a6adc953674482c7fe0603559

problem is resolved in the 5.2.7 version of dhcpd which is not yet in ~amd64 and therefore the request for the version bump (eventhough it hasn't been out for that long).

just renaming the current ebuild to 5.2.7 worked for me

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install 2.6.35 gentoo kernel (~amd64)
2. reboot
3. can't get a working dhcpcd connection

Actual Results:  
system won't be able to start the e1000e interface using dhcp, even if it was detected correctly

Expected Results:  
system should be able to start interfaces at boot like it did with previous kernels

as a workaround the following works (sometimes)

  # ifconfig eth0 up
  # dhcpcd eth0

but will result in dropped connections sometime later
