I am also still affected by this bug. I build small Ubuntu-based routers, and the ones running Xenial are very likely to fail to get new leases after the connection drops from the ISP, or if they're booted while the connection to the ISP / the ISP's edge device is down.
I'm having to resort to monkey-patching and cron-jobs to reliably get IP addresses on systems without NetworkManager, and it really stinks. =\ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1551351 Title: dhclient does not renew leases To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bind9/+bug/1551351/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
