I changed the configuration of the network devices, eth0 and wlan0, to the traditional ifup. My network has a native IPv6 router and no DHCP6 server. eth0 is set to become active when a cable is plugged in. The wifi interface is configured to start at boot time. Furthermore both interfaces are set to start only DHCP4, because the network does not have a DHCP6 server. Starting the system with a cable plugged in, this interface gets an IPv4 address and 2 global IPv6 addresses via stateless autoconfiguration. However the wifi interface only gets 2 global IPv6 addresses and no IPv4 address. After unplugging the cable, the eth0 still seems to remains in the same status. However after ifdown and ifup eth0 the interface has no IP addresses anymore. In this situation ifdown wlan0 is given, which means that the device wlan0 completely disappears. After that the following command is given: # ifup wlan0 wlan0 device: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x / AR542x Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) wlan0 starting wpa_supplicant command 'iwconfig wlan0 power off' returned Error for wireless request "Set Power Management" (8B2C) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported. # Now again the interface only gets IPv6 addresses and no IPv4 address. I don't see a DHCP client being started.
