Package: dhcp Version: 2.0pl5-19.1 Severity: important
using a transportable router system with multiple eth adapters (wired and wireless) means that the upstream (WAN) adapter is using dhcp-client to obtain an IP address/subnet in many "locations". Since the definition of the upstream eth subnet is hardcoded into the dhcpd.conf file (with no range configured), if the upstream subnet changes then dhcp fails to start rendering the downstream network dead too. This means that a client device attached to the downstream (LAN) obtains no automatic IP address, and cannot be used to reconfigure the transportable router unless the client is hacked to a fixed IP. dhcp needs to be configurable to "ignore" specific eth adapters, entirely. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: arm (armv4l) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.31-rmk2 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages dhcp depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii netbase 4.21 Basic TCP/IP networking system dhcp recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
