Package: klibc-utils
Version: 1.4.34-1
As we are using FAI to install our computers, the ipconfig
binary in the klibc-utils package is used to obtain the
IP configuration from a DHCP server at boot time, when
installing a computer.
A normal DHCP process looks like this:
DHCPDISCOVER (client->server)
DHCPOFFER (server->client)
DHCPREQUEST (client->server)
DHCPACK (server->client)
Using the ipconfig tool in the klibc-utils, the procedure
looks like this:
DHCPDISCOVER (client->server)
DHCPOFFER (server->client)
DHCPREQUEST (client->server)
The DHCPACK is missing, an there is never an
IP configuration obtained.
It seems, that not transmitting an bootp gateway in
the DHCPREQUEST package solves this Problem.
