Description of problem: It is impossible to set the MTU value on a network interface using the dhcp client embedded in the libdhcp4client. It is not possible to use the option interface-mtu available in dhcpd server which allows to set the MTU value for an interface which gets it network configuration through the DHCP protocol. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Detected on Fedora Core 6 How reproducible: Try to make a Fedora Installation with the anaconda installer doing it using PXEBOOT.The IP adress used to make the netinstall is get with DHCP. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set the option interface-mtu to a value different of 1500 on the DHCPD server 2. Launch a PXE installation 3. Launch the ifconfig command when a shell is available and look at the MTU value Actual results: The MTU value is 1500 Expected results: The MTU value should be set with the value entered in the dhcpd server with the parameter option interface-mtu Additional info: N/A
libdhcp needs to specifically request this option and handle it. Reassigning component. This change shouldn't be too difficult.
