Problem solved. OpenSUSE 11 includes dhcpcd 3 (which is mentioned in the
release notes) and installs a new config file /etc/dhclient.conf.rpmnew, but
leaves the old config file in place.
The old config file contains a line like
script "/sbin/dhclient-script";
In the new config file it looks like this:
# Default location of the dhclient-script. Note: Setting
# it in the config, disables the -sf command line option!
#script "/sbin/dhclient-script";
NetworkManager uses the following call when running dhclient:
/sbin/dhclient -d -sf /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-client.action -pf
/var/run/dhclient-eth0.pid -lf /var/run/dhclient-eth0.lease -cf
/etc/dhclient.conf eth0
Now the problem is obvious: the -sf option does nothing and NetworkManger never
realizes that any action happens.
Even though this is working for me now, this is clearly a bug (mention it in
the release notes and add possibly a check inside NetworkManger). I've heard
complaints from many people upgrading from 10.3 to 11 having this same problem
(I would guess almost everybody has that problem?)
