Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.10.0-3
Severity: normal
The latest update has broken the use of dhcp-client-identifier as a means of
ensuring a fixed IP address. The reason seems to be that the dhclient.conf
generated by NetworkManager puts the dhcp-client-identifier in quotes, whereas,
as a hex string it should not be enclosed in quotes.
So I'd be glad if that could be fixed...
Thanks,
Johannes

Version: 1.58.0-1
dhclient support was removed upstream in 1.58.0, making this bug report
obsolete. Thus closing.
If you still have problems with the internal dhcp client, bug file a new
bug report.
Regards,
Michael
