There is a checkbox in Yast -> network devices -> network settings -> global options -> dhcp client options -> request broadcast response.

If this checkbox is checked, it puts DHCLIENT_ADDITIONAL_OPTIONS = "-B" into /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp

This setting: - breaks DHCP in openSUSE 11.0, because -B is passed to dhclient, which silently fails because it does not recognize this option

No, it doesn't. At least on 11.0 the variable is not used for dhclient. But I know what happens here again. The variable is passed to the new version of the dhcpcd, that does not understand it any more. There is a hook in the dhcpcd spec file that removes the unknown options (-B, -S, -z \d+, -w \d+) when the new dhcpcd version gets installed. But when it is added again by yast2, it does not work... => Michal, can you remove/disable the check box in yast2? -- 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.
