dhcp broken after updating to dhcdbd & dhcp bug fixes via software updater (static IP works)
Last modified: 2006-05-22 14:56:45 UTC
Updated to dhcdbd 1.12-14.2 & dhcp 3.0.3-21.1 via software updater (was dhcdbd 1.12-14 & dhcp 3.0.3-21 from the install CD). Interface eth1 (ipw3945 wireless) no longer picks up DHCP address. /var/log/messages: May 20 07:57:28 nbk1 dhclient: Please do not under any circumstances send requests for May 20 07:57:28 nbk1 dhclient: help directly to the authors of this software - please May 20 07:57:28 nbk1 dhclient: send them to the appropriate mailing list as described in May 20 07:57:28 nbk1 dhclient: the README file.

May 20 07:57:28 nbk1 dhcdbd: Unrequested down ?:3 Gnome Network manager appears to connect but then fails to optain IP, and prompts again for the WPA passphrase. DHCP worked fine on the interface before the update. If I configure the interface to use a static address again it works fine. Wireless device is Intel ipw3945 a/b/g. Thanks.

This is not limited to my wireless card either, any interface fails to pickup an IP address. For example my laptop also has this ethernet adapter: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02) Which fails with the same entry in /var/log/messages: May 20 10:35:32 nbk1 dhclient: Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.0.3 May 20 10:35:32 nbk1 dhclient: Copyright 2004-2005 Internet Systems Consortium.

perhaps robert has an idea.
Hrm, it looks like the YOU update for dhcp is busted ... There wasn't a dhcp-client upgrade, too? We needed to roll out dhcp-client from that updated dhcp source package, not just dhcp. Matt: If there is a dhcp-client upgrade available, please install it. This should remedy the problem. Otherwise, in the meantime, set DHCLIENT_HOSTNAME_OPTION in /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp to "" (e.g., empty string). Does this fix the problem?
the dhcp-client subpackage was missing. We need to push out an update to 1f629c038766cae9904eb7722a03aa3d with both dhcp and dhcp-client. I have submitted a new patchinfo with dhcp,dhcp-client packages inside already, so nothing more to do.
Thank you, Marcus.
Robert, Yes changing DHCLIENT_HOSTNAME_OPTION to open string has reolsved the issue. No update showing up as yet. Thanks for the help. Matt
Alright, thanks Matt. The bug is the missing dhcp-client package. Marcus took care to submit the update, so it should show up soon. It might take a bit, but it will be there. In the meantime, the changes to DHCLIENT_HOSTNAME_OPTINO will rectify the problem. As there is nothing left to do, marking the bug as FIXED.
online update released this morning
