Back with opensuse 12.1/x86 I have tried another bunch of things, I found years old discussion on these lowest values as MTU with 576 and very many were talking about cable providers with linux :(( some people advised to go for /etc/dhclient.conf and edit the request line to minimum: request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers; which I did, and I even deleted all the cache files of the dhcpclient. Whats also kinda confusing is all the naming of packages, sometimes its dhcp-client, sometimes its dhclient, dhcpcd and whatnot..... confusing What also seems odd about the dhcp with the german cableinternet provider is the very low lease times in a few thousand seconds worth of lease time only? Although some documentation was speaking about those numbers were being minutes, but thats somehow not the case here? dhcpcd-test eth0 info, eth0: hardware address = 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx info, eth0: broadcasting for a lease debug, eth0: sending DHCP_DISCOVER with xid 0x38dae200 debug, eth0: waiting for 10 seconds debug, eth0: got a packet with xid 0x38dae200 info, eth0: offered 188.x.x.x from 83.169.184.130 DHCPGIADDR='83.169.168.162' IPADDR='188.x.x.x' NETMASK='255.255.248.0' NETWORK='188.x.x.0' BROADCAST='188.x.x.x' MTU='576' ROUTES='' GATEWAYS='188.193.135.254' HOSTNAME='x1-6-00-x-x-x-x-x' DNSSERVERS='83.169.184.225 83.169.184.161' DHCPSID='83.169.184.130' LEASETIME='5352' RENEWALTIME='2676' REBINDTIME='4683' INTERFACE='eth0' CLASSID='dhcpcd 3.2.3' CLIENTID='01:00:x:x:x:x:x' DHCPCHADDR='00:x:x:x:x:x' LOGSERVER='0.0.0.0' info, eth0: exiting will try to boot some usb sticks with some more current opensuse isos in recovery mode to see if the mtu gets set differently there. any hints on this bug at all? thanks. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
