A bit of additional data about the "interface mtu" request and debian/ubuntu dhcp3 packages:
The setting was disabled during hoary (from changelog): dhcp3 (3.0.1-1ubuntu4) hoary; urgency=low * Revert changes to debian/dhclient.conf, apparently at least some DHCP servers supply broken interface-mtu information, so this isn't safe to enable without broader testing (Ubuntu #8241) Then the request was enabled in debian and imported to ubuntu: dhcp3 (3.0.4-6) unstable; urgency=high * debian/dhclient.conf: also request the interface-mtu setting (closes: #372689) The closed bug is a mere wishlist bug, not fixing any actual use case. So I'd suggest the "interface mtu" request is removed because of (very real) potential of still causing breakage. -- Network unreachable with Edgy https://launchpad.net/bugs/58927 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
