I just like to note, that this still happens today. I just installed 10.04 and updated it right away on my gf's Dell Vostro 1700 using an intel a/b/g wireless. It used to be pre-installed with win vista, she downgraded a year ago to XP; and now she dualboots and initially had no gateway (and no internet basically).
The workaround of adding the default gw worked of course, and commenting the rfc3442-classless-routes in the config made it all work again. The router/modem in question is a Thomson SpeedTouch. Digging through the dhcp replies with wireshark made me find Roy's post #21 actually. -- [jaunty] option rfc3442-classless-static-routes causes missing routes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307204 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dhcp3 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
