Description

Ivan Zakharyaschev 2008-12-28 19:59:06 MSK

etcnet-0.9.7-alt0.M41.1
dhcpcd-3.0.17-alt4

in Desktop 4.1.1RC 2008/11/15.

My default eth0 configuration is to use DHCP and Zeroconf.

I booted the computer with the Ethernet cable plugged in, and in the network, there constantly was a running DHCP during the described case. It successfully configured the interface by DHCP, the connection worked.

Then I unplugged this computer, and after several hours plugged it back. It didn't bring back the correct configuration. The configuration after re-plugging was missing the DHCP-assigned IP address: 

# ifconfig

Reproduceable.

Forgot to say: it is ifplugd-0.28-alt4 which is in this distro.

Comment 2

Ivan Zakharyaschev 2010-02-22 03:56:12 MSK

BTW, this problem doesn't occur in a 4.0 system (Lite 4.0.x):

$ rpm -q ifplugd etcnet dhcpcd 
ifplugd-0.28-alt3
etcnet-0.9.7-alt0.M40.1
dhcpcd-1.3.22pl4-alt3.0
$ 

but, as I have described in the report, occurs in a 4.1 system (Desktop 4.1):

$ rpm -q ifplugd etcnet dhcpcd 
ifplugd-0.28-alt4
etcnet-0.9.7-alt0.M41.1
dhcpcd-3.0.17-alt4
$

So, the only significant difference seems to be in dhcpcd.

The problem persists with dhcpcd-4.0.15-alt2 from Sisyphus.

So, an even more probable reason for the problem is that the used iflugd (ifplugd-0.28-alt4) doesn't know how to talk correctly to the newer dhcpcd: there is no such error in the 4.0 system with a dhcpcd-1.3.22pl4-alt3.0.

Perhaps, the newer dhcpcd (> 3.0) should conflict with this version of ifplugd, so that dhcpcd wouldn't be upgraded in a system with the old incompatible ifplugd.

And ifplugd should be fixed.

Sorry, it's clear that the problem is in the script provided by etcnet:

$ rpm -qf /etc/net/scripts/ifplugd.action
etcnet-0.9.7-alt0.M41.1
$

Perhaps, the solution is the solution of https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19582 .

Sorry, I'm largely out of that context by now.

Just in case, look at ifplugstatus(8) to verify that there's no additional problem with e.g. kernel driver or ifplugd link detection.

could you test recent etcnet please ?

В 4.1/branch исправления не будут вноситься уже технически (заглушена очередь на сборку), поэтому прошу ошибки, актуальные для sisyphus/p7/t7, перевесить на текущие ветки или сизиф.
