From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Description of problem: Tried to get a lease over wifi (3com) from a nt4 dhcp server. Dhclient fails to do this, but pump suceeds. I'll attach scraps from the messages file to show this. The card does work with a static address. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dhclient-3.0pl1-23 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Try to bring up wifi card with dhcp 2. 3. Additional info:
Created attachment 97214 [details] Shows dhclient failing to get a lease from a nt4 dhcp server
Created attachment 97215 [details] Shows pump getting a lease from same nt4 server
The only reason dhclient declines a valid offer is if the dhclient-script detects by ping that the assigned address is already in use - not a bad idea. Not reproducible when address not in use.
