DHCP lease fail with kernel 3.2.8
Hey all,
Whenever I update to kernel 3.2.8 and reboot, I can not connect to my wireless network anymore. Neither with netcfg, wifi-select and wpa-supplicant: they all tell me its a DHCP lease attempt fail. I have found this topic which links to a certain bugreport. The applied fix in there doesn't work, but downgrading my kernel to 3.2.6 does work. I also just found this topic, which claims I should downgrade dhcpcd from 5.5.4 to 5.2.12 but that doesn't solve my issue either.
Is there another topic on the boards or another bugreport that I missed? Can someone point me to those or help me fix this? Or should I just wait for another update and keep with kernel 3.2.6 for now? (I would like to use 3.2.8 though, since Catalyst just got an update that I would like to use but it depends on kernel 3.2.8...)
Thanks in advance!

Re: DHCP lease fail with kernel 3.2.8
I have already disabled that module. Is there anything else I can try?

Not a solution, but a workaround; Have you tried dhclient in lieu of dhcpcd

Re: DHCP lease fail with kernel 3.2.8
Hmm, that seems to work, albeit slower than dhcpcd... I guess this easy really is caused by dhcpcd then, right?
As this is just a workaround and dhclient is slower than dhcpcd, I would still like to fix the issue with dhcpcd. Does anyone know if there's a newer (even if it's unstable) version available? When I tried going to the website listed in the PKGBUILD, the newest was 5.5.4.

Re: DHCP lease fail with kernel 3.2.8
there appears to be a git repo for dhcpd , see http://roy.marples.name/projects/self
