Thomas,

 Would mind attach your /var/log/NetworkManager when the route was not setting correctly?

I hope this helps.

From the the log I viewed your NM crashed.

Could you update the new packages which will be in RC2?

https://build.opensuse.org/package/binary?arch=i586&filename=NetworkManager-0.8-9.1.i586.rpm&package=NetworkManager&project=home%3ABinLi%3Abranches%3AopenSUSE%3A11.3&repository=standard

https://build.opensuse.org/package/binary?arch=x86_64&filename=NetworkManager-0.8-9.1.x86_64.rpm&package=NetworkManager&project=home%3ABinLi%3Abranches%3AopenSUSE%3A11.3&repository=standard

BTW,

 Could view the dhclient result?

 $ cat /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient*

As I didnt touch this config, NetworkManager IS selected:

Why should NetworkManager start to change the network config, if it had not been selected to do so first place?

Can I help by sending some dump file?
If so please give me a hint how and what to do.

Regards,

Please stop the NetworkManager, delete the /etc/resolv.conf, and start it again with 'NetworkManager --no-daemon', if it still don't work, attach your log in terminal, thanks!

Hi, I have issues with the default gateway too. when I run the route command I have the following output:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     1      0        0 eth0
loopback        *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo

And of course I cannot connect to internet. When I run "route add default gw <gateway> eth0" I have the following output:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     1      0        0 eth0
loopback        *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
default         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

And I can now surf the web. Obviously NetworkManager doesn't set the gateway when configuring the connection. If I disconnect from my network and I reconnect to the same network the route output is the same as the first one, so I'm forced to re-run the route add command and everything works again. I hope this helps and if someone wants me to provide any other output I'll try to provide as quickly as I can.

Ignore my last comment, I misread the reporter's feedback. Sorry

output of NetworkManager --no-daemon

Hi I've stoped NetworkManager, I deleted my /etc/resolv.conf file and started it with --no-daemon and it didn't worked. I've submitted the output of the terminal. However I doubt that it's going to be useful. I should say that I had to stop the command with Shift+C after it displaying this: "NetworkManager: <info>  Activation (eth0) Stage 5 of 5 (IP Configure Commit) complete." I didn't say it before but I'm using 11.3 rc2 under virtualbox. If I can help with anything else please let me know.

Thomas,

 From your NetworkManager log I found the dhclient was not got the routers.

-----------------------------------------
 NetworkManager: <info>  Activation (eth0) Stage 4 of 5 (IP4 Configure Get) started...
NetworkManager: <info>    address 10.0.0.3
NetworkManager: <info>    prefix 24 (255.255.255.0)
NetworkManager: <info>    nameserver '10.0.0.138'
NetworkManager: <info>    nameserver '195.3.96.67'
NetworkManager: <info>    nameserver '195.3.96.68'
NetworkManager: <info>    domain name 'fruehbeck.at'
-----------------------------------------

 And in my machine I found the 'gateway' keyword, so the NM could set it.

-----------------------------------------
NetworkManager: <info>  Activation (eth0) Stage 4 of 5 (IP4 Configure Get) started...
NetworkManager: <info>    address 147.2.207.197
NetworkManager: <info>    prefix 24 (255.255.255.0)
NetworkManager: <info>    gateway 147.2.207.254
NetworkManager: <info>    nameserver '147.2.136.75'
NetworkManager: <info>    nameserver '137.65.1.1'
-----------------------------------------

 And from your 'dhcpcd-test eth0' I found the ROUTERS item is null.

 So do you make sure your dhcp Server already set the router in it's configuration, for dhcp-server the /etc/dhcpd.conf should include below line.

---------------------------------------------
subnet 147.2.207.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        option domain-name "lab.bej.apac.novell.com";
        option domain-name-servers 147.2.136.75,137.65.1.1;
        option routers 147.2.207.254;
......
---------------------------------------------

I am no expert on this topic, so I cannot tell if this should be, but it works fine in 11.2, Ubuntu, WinXP, Vista and Win7 and anyway there is the item GATEWAYS which sounds very familiar when expecting the default gateway to be set.

Second I dont know how to set this parameter, there is none on my DHCP server on my router. I cannot really think of a reason to configure routing when I need simply a default gateway to be set (of course that's a routing topic, I know..). 

dhcpcd-test eth0
DHCPGIADDR='10.0.0.138'
IPADDR='10.0.0.3'
NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
NETWORK='10.0.0.0'
BROADCAST='10.0.0.255'
ROUTES=''
GATEWAYS='10.0.0.138'
DNSDOMAIN='fruehbeck.at'
DNSSERVERS='10.0.0.138 195.3.96.67 195.3.96.68'
DHCPSID='10.0.0.138'
LEASETIME='4294967295'
RENEWALTIME='0'
REBINDTIME='0'
INTERFACE='eth0'
CLASSID='dhcpcd 3.2.3'
CLIENTID='01:00:25:b3:5a:0c:9b'
DHCPCHADDR='00:25:b3:5a:0c:9b'
NETBIOSNAMESERVER='10.0.0.138'

okay, so could attach the result of 'cat /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient*' ? Cause we use the dhclient to get these information in NM.

Hi,

I tried the DHCP in the office and finally found the 'routers' option, which you mentioned in the lease, examples provided below.
I understand, that my DHCP server doesn't provide this parameter. and that NetworkManager (at least in 11.3) insists on parsing for this _optional_ parameter.
I see a point in not accepting an implicit configuration of default routes by a malicious DHCP server, but if an attacker may design a DHCP response, this will be the least problem to solve. 

Still I cannot understand, why it has been decided to make NetworkManager (or the scripts it invokes) fail to configure a network connection without notice.
Is it possible, that it is common practice to accept the DHCP server as default GW if not otherwise requested? 

It seems, that I will have to dig deeply into telnet ADSL router configuration because of this decision.

Example DHCP Response OK:
lease {
  interface "eth0";
  fixed-address 10.229.0.170;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.254.0;
  option routers 10.229.1.254;
  option dhcp-lease-time 64800;
  option dhcp-message-type 5;
  ...
}

Example DHCP Response - no default gateway:
lease {
  interface "eth0";
  fixed-address 10.0.0.3;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
  option dhcp-lease-time 4294967295;
  option dhcp-message-type 5;
  ...
}

Regards,
Thomas

Just one additional remark: it is of course up to you to decide on the actions to be taken, I think you may close this case if you think that it 'works as designed'.

Regards,
Thomas

I think it should be a bug for dhclient, I focus more about it. and try to find the reason.

Could you get the dhcpd's configuration which provide the dhcp for you?

Login the DHCP Server's machine, then

$ cat /etc/dhcpd.conf

Well I would, if it where that easy >:-(
This is a proprietary system, it's a DSL router with a restricted management interface similar Cisco appliances. I didnt want to study DSLRouter internals just to have DHCP available.

Just for illustration I will show you a sample session:

I am having the same problems here:

The router is a Thomson SpeedTouch 585, software version 5.3.9.0. The default gateway is not set via networkmanager and dhcp on os 11.3, x8-64. Works in Windows and worked in os 11.2, broken in 11.3.

Since the router config is pretty much factory default and everything worked well until os 11.2 and everything works well with ipup (dhcp works as expected) i must assume there is something wrong with networkmanager...

/var/lib/dhcp/dhclient...lease:

lease {
  interface "wlan0";
  fixed-address 10.0.0.2;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
  option dhcp-lease-time 7200;
  option dhcp-message-type 5;
  option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.138;
  option dhcp-server-identifier 10.0.0.138;
  option rfc3442-classless-static-routes_raw 0,10,0,0,138;

dhclient seems to get the proper information, (default gw is 10.0.0.138)...

thanks in advance,

Gerald
