@patpat; this is no guesswork. Bits can be missed. While you're right as to the correct value for yiaddr, I believe that you misunderstand how klibc on the whole works, and how Ubuntu processes work. The status change was automatic from the package upload.
Was I was getting at before is that the DHCPDISCOVER messages are going out correctly -- this is why we shouldn't change yiaddr directly in dhcp_send -- it affects all send operations indiscriminately. And obviously, the spec is extremely unclear on the expected behavior. I've re-read the spec, and it looks like klibc only ever does a discover and request with the dhcp_send() method; so I'll rework the patch to make this clear and correctly fix the issue. This is the kind of package in which you really need to know what you're doing when making changes. dhcp_send_discover() was doing the right thing for yiaddr: it sets dev->ip_addr = INADDR_ANY; which value will get copied in yiaddr in dhcp_send(), "as it should", except that's only good for dhcp_discover. dhcp_send_request() also needs to keep track of dev->ip_addr, and shouldn't overwrite it, but still ought to send with yiaddr set to INADDR_ANY. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1327412 Title: Delay during PXE Boot, IP-Config gives up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/klibc/+bug/1327412/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
