Michael,

 Make sure your DHCP server already provide the correct server address first.

 Then kill the NetworkManager and run again in terminal like 'NetworkManager --no-daemon'. After you connect your NM, please attach your log in terminal and  'cat /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient*'.

my DHCP server is an ADSL router and works with all kind of OS, including previous openSUSE versions, Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Windows 7, Windows XP and Mac OS X

perhaps the problem is located in the dhclient?

setting default route does not work.

I am suffering from this bug since upgrading from 11.2 to 11.3 (writing this from mobile broadband modem).

I have described the symptoms in this forum thread 

http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-help-here/wireless/442169-11-3-unable-reach-outside-local-network-networkmanager-ifup-works.html

Briefly, wlan works if controlled by ifup but with networkmanager no route is set. The same behavior is seen also at init 3 i.e. this is not due to the KNM applet or plasmoid. (I am using the plasmoid for managing the mobile broadnband connection.)

This problem did not exist in openSUSE 11.1 and 11.2.

hardware: Lenovo X61s (Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron]) iwlagn driver.
openSUSE 11.3

/micke

I did a clean install of 11.3 in 32 bit and have exactly the same problem.  I was hoping to become a new opensuse user with this release, coming from another kde4 distro.  Like the author of Comment 4, I use my laptop in different settings (wired and wireless) and need instant connectivity.  Ifup is not an adequate solution for me.  Because of this problem I had to go back to the other distro.  I look forward for a solution to this problem.

I also think Gerald is right: the problem seems to be dhclient not honoring the newer option of RFC3443 Classless Static Route Option for DHCPv4:

option rfc3442-classless-static-routes_raw 0,10,0,0,138;

After research on this unpleasant topic I now finally understand, what this is all about :-(

Problem showed up in 11.3, no other variant of SuSE nor any other OS I use has this problem.

I know that this does NOT provide the NEEDed INFO, but this HAS to go on!

I've write a patch for NetworkManager, you get it for testing.

I'm not sure if it should let NM process it or just let dhcp-client process it?
From https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307204 I found they change the dhcp-client.

hi

thanks for your work. small problem:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/BinLi:/branches:/openSUSE:/11.3:/Update:/Test/standard

leads to a html 404 error. it seems this dir doesnt exist on the server....

gerald

Gerald,

https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries?package=NetworkManager&project=home:BinLi:branches:openSUSE:11.3:Update:Test&repository=standard

Hi,
wanted to test, but couldnt find any binaries, just a link leading to 404.
I am feeling a bit stupid :-?

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/BinLi:/branches:/openSUSE:/ doesn't have an openSUSE 11.3 directory.  The "Publish Flag" is not set.

At the URL you provided with comment #12 you only get the package sources and meta data.

@Thomas: It's not you.  The issue is on the other side. ;)

I am sorry to say that this issue was a result of taking NM access and configuration from Yast in 11.1 has caused problems that are not usable.
Whilst both IFUP and NM were configurable in Yast>Network Devices in 11.0 NM was perfect.
In 11.1 the only thing a user can do in Yast is change from NM to IFUP.
NM is greyed out after installation.
During a full installation, if Network Manager is selected and configured, everything works well but after Installation this configuration is not accessible as it becomes greyed out.
After Installation any NM config in Yast becomes really stuffed up by the KDE NM Settings and application and KDE's control of NM is lost.
All of this is 100% reproducible and we need to go back to having NM accessible and configurable after installation as in 11.1. - ATM 11.1-11.3 is so screwed up between Yast and KDE4 NM and KDE NM/VPN etc. etc 
We either need to get rid of ANY NM config in Yast and leave NM4 to function as designed by KDE or Revert back to 11.0.
Again all of the above is 100% reproducible during NON-Automated Installations.

(In reply to comment #15)
> After Installation any NM config in Yast becomes really stuffed up by the KDE NM ...

I'm running into the same problem on two computers with 11.3 clean-installed from the *GNOME* environment liveCD; it's the first OpenSUSE installs, so I can't offer comparisons. Oddly, even though it is losing the route as described, trying to manually add it per the recommendation didn't go as expected:
dd@suse:~> sudo /sbin/route add default gw 192.168.1.1
SIOCADDRT: No such process

I've changed the flag for publish, sorry of it.

I really appreciate everyone’s efforts in resolving this bug but disappointingly, updating to the test version 0.8-10.1 did not fix the problem;

I also had limited success and I do not really recall if something changed, but I succeeded in getting the default route by starting dhclient manually after NetworkManager brought up the interface:

installed resources:

   - newest dhclient from factory: dhcp-client-4.1.1.P1-5.1.x86_64.rpm

I really hope this helps :-)

Hi Bin Li,

perhaps you should have a look at:

src/dhcp-manager/nm-dhcp-manager.c 
        /* Routes: if the server returns classless static routes, we MUST ignore
         * the 'static_routes' option.
         */
        have_classless = nm_dhcp_client_process_classless_routes (options, ip4_config, &gwaddr);
        if (!have_classless) {
                gwaddr = 0;  /* Ensure client code doesn't lie */
                process_classful_routes (options, ip4_config);
        }


there the option .._raw is not recognized:

src/dhcp-manager/nm-dhcp-dhclient.c
        str = g_hash_table_lookup (options, "new_rfc3442_classless_static_routes");
        /* Microsoft version; same as rfc3442 but with a different option # (249) */
        if (!str)
                str = g_hash_table_lookup (options, "new_ms_classless_static_routes");

        if (!str || !strlen (str))
                return FALSE;

Thomas,

 Thanks, update the new patch, please test it again, guys!

I tried the 0.8-11.1 version of NM. Unfortunately, no improvement. Same symptoms as described in Comments 4 and 18.

I have the same problem, even with the patched NetworkManager. dhclient alone correctly sets the route.

I tried to compile it myself, but failed due to lots of dependencies :-(

Something's peculiar:
you write the option as it shows up in the lease file: (hash, "option rfc3442-classless-static-routes_raw")
But in the tests/test-dhcp-options.c they are all written whith '_': "new_static_routes", "10.1.1.5 10.1.1.1 100.99.88.56 10.1.1.1" 

Perhaps it would help to put in some more debugging code, just to see where it leads off?

Hi, guys.

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/mtomaschewski:/branches:/openSUSE:/11.3:/Update:/Test/openSUSE_11.3_Update_Test/

Would mind upgrade the new dhcp-client packages for it? Also, need to reinstall the original NetworkManager. Then try to find if it could be fixed.

see also bnc#625770.

I tried the latest patches and they worked for me running opensuse 11.3 as a live KDE cd.  Did not try the wireless though.  Will try later and post the results.

I followed the instructions in comment #25. I seems to work fine now. The route is properly set:

micke@mw-X61s:~> /sbin/route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface

I am truly grateful for your work fixing this bug. You are awesome!

Cheers,

/micke

Success on my side too!
Install of dhcp-4.1.1.P1-5.1.x86_64.rpm  dhcp-client-4.1.1.P1-5.1.x86_64.rpm  sysconfig-0.73.7-3.1.x86_64.rpm, and problems are gone!
Many thanks and cheers,
Thomas

Okay, thanks your guys report. The update process will be in bnc#625770.
