Package: dhcp3-client Version: 3.1.1-1 Tags: patch User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch intrepid
In https://launchpad.net/bugs/33382 (and a duplicate), users reported a failure of dhclient on point-to-point network connections, which get a /32 netmask (255.255.255.255). In this case it seems to be necessary to explicitly add a host route, so that the peer actually becomes reachable. This has been applied to the Ubuntu package a while ago, and got no negative feedback.
