Hello,
It has been a year since my initial post and I have upgraded PF multiple
times and currently using th elatest 13.0.0 but the same DHCP issue
remains. I'm forced to run a separate server for DHCP on the registration
network as a workaround.
Giacinto has confirmed the same issue last time. How do we get this bug
onto developers' radar?
