Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. don't use NM 2. take a closer look at how traditional network stack in suse works 3. simply put a "set -x; exec 2>/tmp/dhcp-$$.log" at beginning of /sbin/ifup-dhcp and take a look which all nonsenses and fathomless things script does and probes Actual Results: i please a network maintainers in openSUSE to don't scratch this BUG with poor putoff that we have to use a NM if we want our netstack working reasonable way . have a nice day and regards .. ave, daniel -- 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.
