Since isc-dhcp-client can bring up the interface on the commandline I don't *think* it's a driver issue. root@host:~# lsb_release -rd;uname -r ; dpkg -l nplan systemd Description: Ubuntu 17.10 Release: 17.10 4.13.0-16-generic Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-==================-==============-==============-========================================= ii nplan 0.30 amd64 YAML network configuration abstraction fo ii systemd 234-2ubuntu12 amd64 system and service manager my current workaround: root@host:~# cat /etc/rc.local #!/bin/sh dhclient enp129s0f0 ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1727825 Title: networkd DHCP immediately drops lease ( on igbx cards ) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1727825/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
