DHCP Problem after Kernel Upgrade

Hello to all,

I have just upgraded to the latest kernel release:

#uname -r
2.6.30-ARCH

and after the upgrade, eth0 is unable to get IP from the DHCP server.

/etc/rc.conf follows:

eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
ROUTES=(!gateway)

The module of the card seems to be ok:

#lsmod
3c59x          41420    0
mii                    0       1   3c59x

The only problem that I managed to spot, is that after the execution of each ifconfig eth0
the number of overruns increases on the received field.

More over, the dhcpd -d command's output shows:

broadcasts for a DHCP_DISCOVER but I do not get a reply from the DHCP server, and I get a timeout.

I have also tried static ip without any success.
Since the machine hosts SVN code for team development, I urgently need aid to solve the problem

More over I have disabled IPv6 on /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf:

alias net-pf-10 off

Thanks in advance!

Re: DHCP Problem after Kernel Upgrade

The first question in such a case: after a downgrade again, or with livecd can it work ? Did you build again the module after a kernel update ?

Re: DHCP Problem after Kernel Upgrade

could not get a IP address on fresh installed Archlinux, on a Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG adapter, actually after a update thet device stop to work. Pulled my hairs. But only the default BIOS settings fixed it, Do not ask how this happend, but reseting default BIOS data fixed my problem.

Did you update dhcpd ? Is the module in the kernel or installed seperate ? Did you try to revert back to the previous kernel ?

Re: DHCP Problem after Kernel Upgrade

I had to increase DHCP timeout for no apparent reason after one update. You could try that. Also, does dhclient work for you?

Re: DHCP Problem after Kernel Upgrade

I seem to be having the same issue, I haven't been able to figure out why and some reason not even a live CD will work.  It is quite frustrating.
