[gentoo-user] dhcpcd brokenness
Ever since an upgrade a few weeks, dhcpcd has been broken. If I start up my laptop withput a hard-wired ethernet connection on eth0, dhcpcd starts up for eth0 and notices that it's got a record of an unexpired lease stored away for eth0. So it decides to just go ahead and use that lease to bring up eth0 even though eth0 _isn't_connected_to_anything_. Since eth0 comes up first, it gets priorty in the routing table over eth1 (a wireless interface that _is_ up and working). All traffic gets routed out eth0 (which isn't connected). I've got to manually shut down eth0 to get a working network. WTF does dhcpcd think it can go ahead an use an old lease like that? That particular bit of brain-deadedness isn't supposed to be enabled unless you use the -E option. I double-checked my network configuration files and checked the running dhcpcd command line with ps. I don't use the -E option. Does anybody know how to prevent dhcpcd from enabling the -E option when you don't specify -E? -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!

I just forwarded your mail to uberlord and he recommended that you try dhcpcd-3.1.7. This version is masked by ~arch, so you will have to do: echo =net-misc/dhcpcd-3.1.7 /etc/portage/package.keywords to upgrade to that version. He also noticed that a bug had been filed at berlios. Since he isn't subscribed to this list, it'd probably be better to take this over there.
