I suspect you are using wicked for network managing. Since we have wicked all interfaces without a connection do not get an ip number on boot. "on boot" works like "a cable plugin". AFAIK this is not considered a bug, but a feature.
When the dhcp server is started it fails because it cannot find an interface with ip number matching your dhcp configuration.
First, your problem shows that the possibility to give an interface an ip number on boot is important. Maybe one should consider a bug report against wicked.
Where do I file a bug report against wicked? In opensuse bugzilla or somewhere else?
Meanwhile you should try another type of network managment: NetworkManager or networkd.
I do not want to disrupt my wlan0. It broke after some time under NetworkManager for some reason, but works with wicked. (The computer is a stationary desktop machine so I had, so far, no need for NetworkManager's dynamic network selection capability). So, I need to have something plugged into the eth0 adapter and then dhcpd will work... but this m,eans I'll have to restart dhcpd manually after plyuging the thing in. and then hope DHCP still works? Perhaps there is some way to make wicked (or some other component, while wicked runs) start/restart dhcpd after detecting a cable connection and assigning the IP address? Thos would suit me perfectly. Another alternative would be to install and try networkd, but this would be a last resort as I don't want any chance to break wlan0. -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
