I think setting to zero is not a good idea. I have configured a netbook with an atheros network card yesterday. After setting timeout to 5, I was not able to get an IP address so I had to increase the value to 10.
As far as I have seen from the output, the network card was not ready in 5 seconds, so the first dhcp request was not successful and is waiting for some seconds like this: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 6 No DHCPOFFERS received. If timeout is 5, no more discovers are made, instead the dhcplient cancels. After setting timeout to 10 it worked because the second request has been answered. -- Ubuntu 8.10 booting hangs for a while on "configuring network interfaces" on iwl3945 and iwl4965 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293023 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
