This seems like a good suggestion. This bug deals with virtual interfaces triggering a "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address" warning, while still succeeding, and can be remedied by removing or patching the /etc/network/if-pre-up.d /wireless-tools file. I've created Bug #351378 to track the issue where DHCP fails to work for a virtual interface, when a DHCP client is used directly, or indirectly via the /etc/network/interfaces config file, and is unaffected by the /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wireless-tools file. The two bugs may have a common underlying cause, but superficially they have different symptoms. -- 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address' when setting up ip alias https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123773 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
