What is and how to test, the problem with dhclient? I have not experienced this previous.
There are a few situations that can cause problems for dhclient that have been encountered over the years. From Memory: Firewalls not allowing the dhcp protocol (port 53, again from memory). Problematic IPV6 implementation, in either the firewall or the workstation. Just turn off ipv6 to test. Some wifi routers would associate over one set of bands, then attempt to communicate on another set which would confound many older network cards (2.4ghs vs 5ghz). If your wifi has this bug, you have to flash new os to it or lock it to 2.4ghz), or you have to get new firmware for your network card. There may be more, but I haven't had a problem with NetworkManager or dhclient since 11.4 days. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
