Bug 177964

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #177845 +++

Description of problem:

The changes to the dhclient support scripts made in dhcp-3.0.2-bz176270.patch
have broken the dhclient when used with the Dlink DSL-300t adsl->ethernet
router. These work by getting an ip for the dsl connection and then bridging
this ip onto the ethernet port, the ethernet port has proxy arp set. They hand
out the ip via dhcp with the default router set to the same as the ip being
handed out hence the proxy arp on the ethernet interface.

I have made a custom rpm of dhcp-3.0.2-28.FC4 with the patch rolled back and the
connection works again. I have also attached the contents of
/var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-eth0.leases:

lease {
  interface "eth0";
  fixed-address 84.12.193.249;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.255.255;
  option routers 84.12.193.249;
  option dhcp-lease-time 60;
  option dhcp-message-type 5;
  option domain-name-servers 213.208.106.212;
  option dhcp-server-identifier 192.168.100.1;
  renew 0 2006/1/15 13:14:50;
  rebind 0 2006/1/15 13:15:11;
  expire 0 2006/1/15 13:15:19;
}



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dhcp-3.0.2-28.FC4 


How reproducible: dhcp an ip address with a router set to the same as the ip
being handed out


Steps to Reproduce:
1. /sbin/ifup eth0
  
Actual results:

no route set in routing table

Expected results:

default route set via ip being handed out

This is because the broadcast address is being set to the DHCP IP address
of the interface (netmask == 255.255.255.255) and the dhclient-script refuses
to set the default router to the broadcast address.

No broadcast address should be set if netmask == 255.255.255.255  .

Will fix today with dhcp-3.0.2-30_FC4 / dhcp-3.0.3-20 (FC5) .
