Bug#302658: workaround for failure to obtain lease
Hi,
I got bitten by this as well. My take on the problem is that if you
have the resolvconf package installed, the script
/etc/udhcpc/default.deconfig
(called upon invocation by udhcpc) instead of running ifconfig runs
resolvconf, which does not put the network device in the state required
for udhcpc to work, resulting in bind() and such things returning
ENETDOWN.
The solution is to either apply the attached patch, which simply makes
sure ifconfig brings up the device regardless of whether you have
resolvconf installed, or not use the resolvconf package.
This and the companion bug (#302655) are two months old, and should be
attended to.
