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!

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 ?

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 ?

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

how does one increase dhcp timeout with wicd?

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.
