I confirm this bug in Feisty. The bug still open and it should be changed to critical (this bug (with others) is really killing my ubuntu- laptop experience)
How to reproduce it: 1. Open the network-admin tool. 2. Set the wired interface (eth0) to dhcp. 3. Apply the changes or deactivate and activate the interface. 4. Wait for the "changing interface configuration" window to close 5. Run ifconfig in a terminal window. You don't have an ip configured. 6. After several minutes, more than 5, you will get finally an ip. Work around: You can force the interface to get an ip address using the command: sudo dhclient eth0 It will get an ip address immediately It seems that network-admin does not force the interface to negotiate an ip address immediately after interface activation. uname -a: Linux dnielben-laptop 2.6.20-16-386 #2 Fri Aug 31 00:51:58 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux >From syslog, reproducing the bug and the workaround: Sep 24 18:43:54 dnielben-laptop dhclient: There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid with pid 28023 Sep 24 18:43:54 dnielben-laptop dhclient: killed old client process, removed PID file Sep 24 18:43:54 dnielben-laptop dhclient: Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.0.4 Sep 24 18:43:54 dnielben-laptop dhclient: Copyright 2004-2006 Internet Systems Consortium.
