Public bug reported:
I'm having an issue connecting to my university's WLAN on Feisty. The
gateway address and the IP address I receive from the DHCP server are on
different subnets and /sbin/dhclient-script is not handling it properly
(route add default dev $interface gw $router $metric_arg fails with
SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable). The script should detect this case
and add add a route to the gateway before attempting to set the default
route.
Here are the relevant variables from /tmp/dhclient-script.debug:
Tue Sep 11 14:09:04 CST 2007: entering dhclient-enter-hooks.d, dumping
variables.
reason='REBOOT'
interface='ath0'
medium=''
alias_ip_address=''
new_ip_address='172.18.225.46'
new_subnet_mask='255.255.255.128'
new_domain_name='usask.ca'
new_domain_name_servers='128.233.3.1 128.233.150.126 128.233.119.73'
new_routers='128.233.185.62'
new_static_routes=''
old_ip_address=''
old_subnet_mask=''
old_domain_name=''
old_domain_name_servers=''
old_routers=''
old_static_routes=''
Sorry if my terminology is incorrect. I'm no networking guru.
Thanks.
