[Bug 601704] New: dhcpcd: ignores link carrier and does not retransmit
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=601704 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=601704#c0 Summary: dhcpcd: ignores link carrier and does not retransmit Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jengelh@medozas.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Beta-Customer Blocker: --- I am observing a problem whereby an initramfs with NFS-mounting just does not seem to be able to get a DHCP lease. I tracked down the problem due to two factors: 1. some hardware has a notoriously slow PHY bringup - as much as 7 to 8 seconds have been observed with very different hardware (via-velocity.ko, e1000e.ko). 2. (In initramfs, eth0 starts out in the DOWN state.) dhcpcd brings up the interface, but does not wait for the NO-CARRIER flag to be cleared, so that dhcpcd sends the DHCPDISCOVER while the hardware is not really usable - the packet never makes it to the wire. 3. dhcpcd does, if I looked right, exactly one retry - like 4 seconds after the first. However, since the link bringup takes 7 seconds, that second DHCPDISCOVER also vanishes. Instead, dhcpcd completely times out after 120 seconds (due to -t 120 in boot-network.sh). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
