It seems the fix is only partial ; >From RFC2131 (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) for a client we have:
Field DHCPDISCOVER DHCPREQUEST DHCPDECLINE, DHCPINFORM DHCPRELEASE ----- ------------ ----------- ----------- 'yiaddr' 0 0 0 but the mentioned patch does not include - bootp.yiaddr = dev->ip_addr; + bootp.yiaddr = INADDR_ANY; The patch only adds the flags... Considering it is the client DHCP request the yiaddr should be 0 (INADDR_ANY) ***debian/patches/broadcast_dhcp_send.patch*** --- a/usr/kinit/ipconfig/dhcp_proto.c +++ b/usr/kinit/ipconfig/dhcp_proto.c @@ -203,6 +203,7 @@ static int dhcp_send(struct netdev *dev, bootp.ciaddr = INADDR_ANY; bootp.yiaddr = dev->ip_addr; bootp.giaddr = INADDR_ANY; + bootp.flags = htons(0x800); bootp.secs = htons(time(NULL) - dev->open_time); memcpy(bootp.chaddr, dev->hwaddr, 16); Best, Patrick -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1327412 Title: Delay during PXE Boot, IP-Config gives up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/klibc/+bug/1327412/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
