From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.12; Mac_PowerPC) Description of problem: dhcpcd does reset the IFF_MULTICAST flag if it was set by the ethernet driver to signal it supports multcasting. This causes modern software that uses the MULTICAST flag to autoconfigure to skip the interface in question. An example is OpenSLP and some AppleTalk software. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. load your ethernet driver, I used a 3c59x 2. run ifconfig eth0, the MULTICAST flag is turned on 3. run dhcpcd eth0 4. after having aquired an IP address run ifconfig eth0 again Actual Results: the MULTICAST flag is gone. Expected Results: The MULTCAST flag should not have been touched at all by dhcpcd. Additional info:
Bugzilla is being mean and won't let me mark this a duplicate of #48669 Anyways, this is fixed in rawhide, all should be well in the future.
