Description Michael McCarthy 2008-12-05 19:08:14 UTC

It appears that DNS is broken on RC1 when NetworkManager is enabled with DHCP.  I get an IP address from DHCP and can ping hard IP addresses but get no DNS resolution.  If I revert to "traditional ifup", DNS and networking works correctly.  All worked fine with Beta 5.

Hardware is a Dell D600 notebook with Dell wireless (disabled) and ethernet (enabled).  Logs to follow.

It should also be noted that the network test and release notes download failed during the installation process with "Network Failure" pop-ups.

I have the same problem with the wireless card of Dell D620.

I can get ip address from AP, but can't get the dns server address.

When I run dhclient on card, I get the following message:

wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801

                     ^
/etc/dhclient.conf line 33: ntp-servers: expected option name.

wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801

I made some changes to dhclient.conf, and the dns server address is obtained. I don't know why.

My changes to dhclient.conf:

epico@linux:/etc> diff dhclient.conf.bak dhclient.conf
28c28
