Hi, For the record, after more investigation, this appears not to be related to the kernel at all (sorry) but ot a misbehaving DHCP server that only answers on broadcast. My ISP must have changed its config.
$ cat /var/log/daemon.log.1 /var/log/daemon.log 2>/dev/null | grep dhclient | cut -d':' -f4- | uniq -c 18225 DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 82.224.x.y port 67 1 DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 1 DHCPACK from 82.224.x.y 1 bound to 82.224.z.p -- renewal in 249667 seconds. 15075 DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 82.224.x.y port 67 # dhcping -v -s 255.255.255.255 Got answer from: 82.224.x.y received from 82.224.x.y, expected from 255.255.255.255 no answer # dhcping -v -s 82.224.x.y no answer Not sure how to fix this (contact my ISP or DHCP client option), but at least this is not kernel related.
