Hide Forgot
A version of dhcpcd daemon, 1.3.17-pl5, included in the current rawhide, and also on 6.1 distribution, suffers from various problems and has a code which causes multiple "unaligned access" problems on Alpha (probably also on other architectures as well but Alpha reports it :-). Included with this report is src.rpm archive based on 1.3.18-pl3 which is much more portable between architectures. An extra patch resolves one remaining "unaligned access" spot. This version of the daemon works as shown by the fact that it maintains a connection which I utilize to send this report. Michal Jaegermann, michal@harddata.com

We suggest using pump for this instead of dhcpcd.
Now that rawhide has dhcpcd back in it, I'd very much like to see the patch, the problem being that the attached file is not a valid .rpm.
Indeed. Something ate that attachment badly. I still happen to have it around but with newer versions of dhcpcd possibly some other tweaks are needed. For the sake of a historical completness (binaries still work fine) let's try again.

Thanks, fix is in dhcpcd-1.3.18pl8-13
