Hi,
I'm looking for a way to keep my box connected. Sometimes the
connections drops for various reasons:
- cable removed from modem/nic
- power outage
- booted without cable
The problem is, that dhclient just gives up:
Oct 17 09:13:29 localhost kernel: eth1: Tx timed out, cable problem?
TSR=0x0, ISR=0x0, t=15185.
Oct 17 09:13:30 localhost dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received
Oct 17 09:13:30 localhost dhclient: No working leases in persistent
database.
Oct 17 09:13:30 localhost dhclient: Exiting.
From this point on, I need physical access to the machine to make it
connect again. I tried installing ifplugd and configured it for eth1,
but removing/replugging the cable does not have the desired effect.
According to syslog nothing happens and dmesg looks uneventful as well.
Anyhow, if there were a way to have dhclient keep running, I would not
have this problem, and my box could just regain connectivity itself.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, so far I have tried man
dhclient.conf and installed ifplugd for eth1, but no cigar.
Regards,
Arjen
