Hello everyone

I used dhcpcd client for 3 years and have been very satisfied. But lately I can't get any valid ip anymore, both on wifi and wired.

In the begining dhcpcd was emerged with zeroconf use flag. I tried to emerge dhcpcd with USE=vram -zeroconf and it still doesn't work. I get an invalid ip. eth0 is for wired and eth2 is for wireless. Here are the errors I get:

Code:
dhcpcd -d eth0
info, eth0: dhcpcd 3.2.3 starting
info, eth0: hardware address = 00:03:0d:2c:d9:1e
info, eth0: removing IP address 169.254.156.132/16

debug, eth0: forking to background

Code:

[I] net-misc/dhcpcd
     Available versions:  2.0.5-r1 3.0.16-r1 3.1.5 3.1.5-r1 ~3.1.6 ~3.1.6-r1 ~3.1.7 ~3.1.8 ~3.1.9 ~3.2.0 ~3.2.1 ~3.2.2 3.2.3 {build debug static vram zeroconf}
     Installed versions:  3.2.3(11:20:02 04/08/08)(vram -zeroconf)
     Homepage:            http://roy.marples.name/dhcpcd
     Description:         A DHCP client



This is my /etc/conf.d/net
Code:

# This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
# scripts in /etc/init.d.  To create a more complete configuration,
# please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration
# in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).
config_eth0=("dhcp")
#dhcp_eth0="nontp nonis nodns"
dhcp_eth0="nontp nonis"
#dns_servers_eth0="127.0.0.1 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220"


config_eth2=("dhcp")
modules_eth2=("iwconfig")
#dhcp_eth2="nodns"
#dns_servers_eth2="208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220"
routes_eth2=("default gw 192.168.1.1")
dhcp_eth2="nontp nonis"



For eth2 (wifi) I also get time out error. If I use -t 60 flag I don't get ip, and get the warn "using ipv4ll"
I am using kernel 2.6.19-gentoo-r5.

I tried livecd of gentoo, backtrack and I can get a valid ip using wired connection. Also managed to get wireless from a hotspot with backtrack livecd.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Queen

You'll need to upgrade the kernel to 2.6.24, or downgrade dhcpcd to 3.1.x
dhcpcd-3.2.x now uses the kernel packet filter, which although works fine in linx 2.2 and 2.4, was broken in a few 2.6 releases.

OK, thanks. Are there some special things in networking that I should enable? IPv6 or IPv4?

IPv4, PACKET_SOCKET and PACKET_FILTER

PACKET_SOCKET is always selected in recent kernels and can't be turned off and isn't on the menu.

After upgrading the kernel and using the latest dhcpcd version, I manage to get proper ip both on wifi and wired card.

Thank you. ;-)
