I'm having a problem with zcip on a Powerbook G4 Ti 867MHz with 9.1
(final). It might already have been there in RC1, but I didn't
encounter it then. When I start up without any network connection (i.e.
no ethernet cable connected and no airport network in range), zcip
assigns a 169.254.x.x address first to eth0 (ethernet), then to eth1
(airport), and then nothing happens. The last line printed is
"zcip[865]: Stored address 169.254.206.74 for eth1:9". The system isn't
completely frozen, I can still type and change terminals, but it
doesn't seem to do anything (at least for about 10 minutes), and I have
to force restart. Everything works correctly if an ethernet connection
is there (eth0 is configured by dhcp, and eth1 by zcip). I didn't try
what happens if I have airport but no ethernet. I currently just work
around the problem by not starting the network interfaces at startup.
Has anyone seen this problem too? Or not? Is there a solution?
