I have a virtual machine running F12, setup to bring up eth0 at boot (nm controlled).
It kept failing dhcp.

Notice the clock changed from 04:00 to 09:00 when ntpd started. Apparantly, confusion over the clock time. Fixing the clock time seems to have solved the problem. I guess the time change made dhclient think it should have timed out? _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
