Re: dhclient booting
Hi, Mind saying what module, exactly and where you got it from? Sorry, I have a broadcom 4311 rev 1 and from an old install I was using the ndiswrapper module, I've switched to b43 from the debian/ testing repository (I'm gently switching from unstable to testing). Antonio Diaz, Maybe could you give us your card's name with lspci ? Regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: dhclient booting
Hi, I'm using Debian Sid too, and I have the same problem but for me it is on wlan0 interface and I don't have any problem with eth0. The problem appears on several wireless access points with or without encryption, strangely, on some access points it works better than on others (another machine had no problem with those AP). I had the problem on different kernel version. The machine is a Dell inspiron 1501, and others who are using the same model don't encounter that problem but they all use Ubuntu (www.ubuntu1501.com). I didn't go further in testing. Hope this can help in some way, I will do some other tests. Regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: dhclient booting
Ok, I should have written a bit more. Maybe these points are helpful: * I've also installed Windows XP on my laptop and it works fine so I'm sure that the problem has to do with my linux configuration. * I've tested different kernel versions (three of them). * dmesg seems to say that the interface eth0 is fine. The module that the network card needs to work is being loaded successfully (sky2) * However, the wireless interface (wlan0) works fine. It gets an IP from the same DHCP server without any problem. * The messages file writes the following message whenever I attempt to get an IP: no IPv6 routers present. I've been reading about it but people are not agree with this point. Some of them think that it is not important at all and others think that it's necessary to disable IPv6. For example: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-222010.html The most strange point is that sometimes the network card gets an IP without problem... but very few times.

Have you tested the dhcp server with a different client; a different machine? Could be a problem with the network adapter or the module. Try a different adapter in the box? Try a different kernel? Try a different dhcp client? Have you any iptables rules set that could interfere? Did you check dmesg? Perhaps try to change the interface's mac address? To configure the eth0 interface I write the following lines in the interfaces file: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp This seems fine. Is there anything else in the file that could interfere?

The most strange point is that sometimes the network card gets an IP without problem... but very few times. I'd say there's a problem with the driver. That sky2 module may have a bug. Can you replace this NIC with a different one or plug an additional one in to work around this? Thank you for your reply. I'd appreciate any help.
