At some point, as time permits, I will upload these packages to unstable. I've gone to great pains to make the new packages a drop in replacement for the old v3 packages, but I've done limited testing myself due to resource constraints at the moment. signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

I'll take a patch for that. If we can autodetect the version of dhclient at %configure time, lets AC_DEFINE something like HAVE_DHCLIENT_V4 and if that's not defined, we fail any connection that requests DHCPv6. That part isn't hard. Plus, then we can get the arguments right when calling dhclient too. I'd like to fix this as well.

network-manager 0.8.1-beta2 does not work with isc dhcp-clients 3.1.3 and 4.1.1
Hi, i am currently testing the beta2 of network-manager 0.8.1 on my Debian Testing system, which has the isc dhcp3-client 3.1.3 installed by default. The new network-manager seems to use some commandline options for calling the dhcp-client which are not available in version 3.1.3 because i can see the following in the syslog: May 30 11:03:42 s710 NetworkManager[21976]: info Activation (eth0) Beginning DHCPv4 transaction (timeout in 45 seconds) May 30 11:03:42 s710 NetworkManager[21976]: info dhclient started with pid 21983 May 30 11:03:42 s710 NetworkManager[21976]: info Activation (eth0) Stage 3 of 5 (IP Configure Start) complete.

I already did a short look at the src/dhcp-manager directory but i could not find a part where i could print the whole commandline which is used for calling the dhcp-client.

Re: network-manager 0.8.1-beta2 does not work with isc dhcp-clients 3.1.3 and 4.1.1
Many thanks to Waldemar Brodkorb for the nice idea to get the used
commandline options.
The full call to dhclient looks like this on my system:
/sbin/dhclient -d -4 -sf /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-client.action
-pf /var/run/dhclient-eth0.pid
-lf /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient-5ef60aca-3b6e-4dd1-9523-4ae039288431-eth0.lease -cf
/var/run/nm-dhclient-eth0.conf eth0
The problem is caused by the -4 parameter of the call.
The attached patch fixes it for me, but i do not know if this might
cause side effects on systems where the -4 option of dhclient
is available.
Regards,
Thomas

I agree that a fallback to be compatible with the older dhclient would be the best option. Anyway, thank you very much for maintaining NM, i realy hope that NM 0.8.1 and Modemmanager 0.4, once they are released, will make it into Squeeze because with this combination i can finally stop using commandline tools to create a connection via DUN over Bluetooth to get internet access while underway.
