Please read en.opensuse.org/Bugs/Definitions on what is a blocker and how to mark a ship stopper. Bug #443788 contains a reference for fixed rpm. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 443788 *** Thank you for the quick resolve. I see, I was a bit overzealous in marking the bug as a blocker. However, not having any networking pretty much reduces any computer to a heavy paperweight for me hence the 'panic' reaction. I'm glad it will be fixed in the final release - but it could probably added in the release announcement as 'most annoying bug'. ;) |
This is how the file looked like after a fresh install of openSUSE 11.1 RC1 with the KDE4 Live CD (i386). //////// Start of File /////////// # # /etc/dhclient.conf -- dhclient configuration file # see "man dhclient.conf" for further details # ###################################################### # Sometimes, a special configuration is required for # e.g. Cable Modem providers (@Home -- TCI). # For example, it may be required to send out a special # dhcp-client-identifier or to override some settings. # # Uncomment and fill in the appropriate settings: # #send dhcp-client-identifier "c32423-a" # or as hex octets #send dhcp-client-identifier 1:0:a0:24:ab:fb:9c; # #send host-name "andare.fugue.com"; # #supersede domain-name "fugue.com home.vix.com"; #prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; # ##################################################### send dhcp-lease-time 3600; # Request several well known/usefull dhcp options. # request subnet-mask, network-number, broadcast-address, routers, interface-mtu, host-name, domain-name, domain-name-servers, nis-domain, nis-servers, nds-context, nds-servers, nds-tree-name, netbios-name-servers, netbios-dd-server, netbios-node-type, netbios-scope, ntp-servers; # We request above options, require only the IP configuration: require subnet-mask; # All another options (DNS, NTP, NIS, ...) are applied using # netconfig(8) modules. # To enforce the availability of the dns server list, set to: require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers; timeout 60; retry 60; reboot 10; select-timeout 5; initial-interval 2; //////// End of File /////////// The errors you then get are from dhclient, and are along the lines of: # > dhclient Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.1.1 Copyright 2004-2008 Internet Systems Consortium.

For info, please visit http://www.isc.org/sw/dhcp/ wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801 /etc/dhclient.conf line 28: no option named network-number in space dhcp request subnet-mask, network-number, ^ /etc/dhclient.conf line 33: ntp-servers: expected option name. netbios-node-type, netbios-scope, ntp-servers; Once I recommented those lines everything worked again, however if this made it to the final release that would be pretty horrible.
