--- Comment #7 from Stephan Neuhaus <s...@artdecode.de> --- Replying to Rodney W. Grimes form comment #5 and comment #6 There are two other machines (one another Debian, one Windows 10) hanging off that (very cheap, consumer-grade Netgear) switch for which DHCP works. Also, if I install Debian on the same laptop on the same port on the same switch, DHCP *also* works. So I don't see how STP can be the root of this issue, but I'll try your suggestions. I cannot turn off STP or change the way it does STP, since it is not managed. If you say that putting it next to the server (which hangs off another switch, this time managed) doesn't solve the problem, I will try fiddling with the STP parameters on *that* switch and see if it solves things. I must admit though, should that make it work, it would be deeply mysterious to me. But I'm willing to concede that my mental model of how these things ought to work might be totally wrong :) As to your other questions: "Are you using the PXE client in the broadcom BIOS?" I don't even know what that means, TBH. I'm using an old MacBook Pro, which happens to have a Broadcom NIC in it. "Are you using any VLAN taggging stuff?" Nope. "Is this NIC in use as a shared IPMI device?" Nope. This NIC runs in a laptop.
