Bug#583139: linux-2.6: no DHCP offers on r8169
Hi, For the record, after more investigation, this appears not to be related to the kernel at all (sorry) but ot a misbehaving DHCP server that only answers on broadcast. My ISP must have changed its config. $ cat /var/log/daemon.log.1 /var/log/daemon.log 2/dev/null | grep dhclient | cut -d':' -f4- | uniq -c 18225 DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 82.224.x.y port 67 1 DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 1 DHCPACK from 82.224.x.y 1 bound to 82.224.z.p -- renewal in 249667 seconds. 15075 DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 82.224.x.y port 67 # dhcping -v -s 255.255.255.255 Got answer from: 82.224.x.y received from 82.224.x.y, expected from 255.255.255.255 no answer # dhcping -v -s 82.224.x.y no answer Not sure how to fix this (contact my ISP or DHCP client option), but at least this is not kernel related.

Bug#583139: linux-2.6: no DHCP offers on r8169
I cannot reproduce anymore with -22lenny1. I do not understand since I had checked with another computer on the same link to rule out a failure from my ISP. I guess if I cannot reproduce through the WE, this can be closed. Cannot reproduce anymore, playing with DHCP, and -22lenny1. Sorry for the noise.

Bug#583139: linux-2.6: no DHCP offers on r8169
Hi, But just to be sure, I just tested another time, and my first results are not consistent with what I found again. I've been running for about a day with 2.6.26-22 and I could not reproduce. I'll try again to upgrade to -22lenny1 tonight. I cannot reproduce anymore with -22lenny1.

I suspect that this is bug #573007, which sometimes causes the MAC address to be set incorrectly. It doesn't always trigger, and the differing behaviour between kernel versions would just be a matter of chance (or dependent on whether you use a cold or warm boot). There is a pending patch for lenny which should fix it.
