severity 322860 serious thanks This bug effectively keeps the network non-functional for people whose DHCP server doesn't send domain-name info. Unfortunately, dhcp-client seems to be the default DHCP client for Etch (rather than dhcp3-client), which means a lot of users won't have working DNS. This includes customers of Wanadoo/Orange, the historic (and leading) ISP in France, whose "Livebox" router/ADSL modem/wireless AP doesn't send a domain to search.
Please incorporate one of the provided patches before Etch releases. Roland. -- Roland Mas La menace de la baffe pèse plus lourd que la baffe elle-même. -- in Sri Raoul le petit yogi (Gaudelette)
