[Solved with dhcpcd-5.1.5-1] dhcpcd-5.1.4-1, timed out

Hello,

I experienced a timed out issue with the new release of dhcpcd. When launched, it indicates a time out, so it can't get information about the network. Downgrading to dhcpcd-5.1.3-1 is the only fix I found.

Is anyone else experiencing this upgrade issue ?

My ethernet card :

Ethernet controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 Ethernet Controller

I have the same problem, dhcpcd 5.1.4 times out while dhcpcd 5.1.3 works fine.

This only happenes on PEAP/MSCHAPv2 networks, the usual WEP/WPA works fine.

I'm using an Atheros chipset with madwifi drivers... I tried kernel integrated ath5k with no luck.

Re: [Solved with dhcpcd-5.1.5-1] dhcpcd-5.1.4-1, timed out

I have the same problem, I've installed arch with the new Kernel-2.6.32 and I don't have network. dhcpcd tells me there is a time out. Please can someone fix this? I'm writing this post from a SLAX Live CD sad
The problem seems to be related with the new Kernel 2.6.32 (2.6.30 was working fine) or with dhcp, from what I've been reading around the net. I have a Sony Vaio with Intel network card.

EDIT: Where can i get kernel-2.6.30 for arch (I don't have it on pacman cache directory (new installation)), does anyone knows about some kind of repository where I can get it?

Same problem here. I downgraded dhcpcd and put it in /etc/pacman.conf in IgnorePkg

It's not kernel but new dhcpcd (at least for me). I tried dhcpcd 5.1.4 with 2.6.30 and 2.6.31 and it makes no difference. You can get any old package at schlunix.org, try downgrading dhcpcd to 5.1.3.

Thanks for the report. I tried to help providing the command-line output, so I upgraded again to 5.1.4...but now it's working. So I'm waiting for the problem to reappear...

Deleting /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-eth0.lease also fix the "timed out " http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=88792 Seems like a clue...

Wow, thanks for finding that solution!  I was about to rebuild everything to work with dhclient tongue

sudo rm -f /var/lib/dhcpcd/*-wlan*.lease
   worked like a charm.

Re: [Solved with dhcpcd-5.1.5-1] dhcpcd-5.1.4-1, timed out

If anyone is having this problem and has not yet fixed it, please do the following and post to flyspray. The upstream maintainer has asked for the following:

Can someone attach a full tcpdump (-s0 -w/tmp/dhcp.cap) of the DHCP transactions from a working dhcpcd-5.1.3 and a non working dhcpcd-5.1.4 please?

Re: [Solved with dhcpcd-5.1.5-1] dhcpcd-5.1.4-1, timed out

I have the same problem. Thought it had something to do with the new version of dhcpcd, so I did a fresh install (it's a test machine), added dhcpcd in the IGNORE list and updated the system. The version of dhcpcd is 4.0.10-1 and the kernel is 2.6.32.3-1

Upon first reboot after the system update eth0 received an address, but every reboot since I experience the timeout problem. The DHCP server does acknowledge the test-machine, but the test-machine doesn't apply the address. Anyway it seems the problem isn't dhcpd as such, maybe a problem with a network driver in 2.6.32?

Edit:
Hmm.. There's 2 NIC's in the test-machine, but it seems random which module is loaded first and apparently what interface get the name eth0 and eth1. I remember that listing the modules in the right order in rc.conf can help, and upon reboot the test-machine correctly received a DHCP address! There's just one strange thing.. The 2. NIC (eth1) is set to a static address, but during my "debugging" I set it to DHCP so both NIC's should get an address from DHCP. However, when restarting the network ifconfig still reported that eth1 was set to the static address?? How could the static address be used when I commented that line out? As if rc.conf was not read?

Edit2:
So besides the weird static address thing (which doesn't matter now), DHCP works every time now when rebooting. BUT this is with the old dhcpcd. I haven't tried upgrading it and dhcpcd is still ignored in pacman.conf. Now that the test-machine is behaving I think I'll let it be, sorry to be such a chicken.. I'll keep an eye on this issue and hope it'll work with a new version of dhcpcd soon.
