similar to: Bug#594638: klibc-utils: ipconfig assumes dhcp server is nameserver

klibcs ipconfig tries to guess the nameserver if no nameserver is provided. This may happen due to misconfigured dhcp or the use of the ip= parameter. This patch removes the guessing from ipconfig as it is not possible for any other script to determine if the provided nameserver is valid or a guessed one. If the old behavior is really needed this could be easily implemented in an external script.

Hi: Like Gerard Patel mentioned on the developer's list I can confirm that Wine's behaviour _is_ now very dependant on which X server is used and to top it: also this behaviour is varying quite a bit depending on the Windows application which is run. I have font problems with XF86_SVGA on a Trident Video-107PCI (cheapy-cheapy) and not with XF86_S3 on a Diamond 2000 3D (old). The problem

it seems versions of pxelinux 4.00 and later hangs qemu (0.12.x, 0.13.x) when network booting using etherboot or gPXE and qemu's kvm support is enabled. pxelinux 3.86 and earlier do not appear to trigger the problem. i also didn't experience the problem with qemu-kvm (formerly known as kvm). qemu without kvm support enabled also seems to work fine. for more details, please see:

Hi, Here are two fixes for ipconfig/dhcp, the second of them being required for my dhcp3 server to accept ipconfig's requests. Thanks, Louis Louis Rilling (2): ipconfig: Fix missing dhcp_end field ipconfig: Fix null ciaddr on DHCPREQUEST during SELECTING state usr/kinit/ipconfig/dhcp_proto.c | 4 ++-- usr/kinit/ipconfig/packet.c | 2 +- 2 files changed, 3

I had an odd situation yesterday, klibc 1.5.17 ipconfig was trying DHCP on all 3 NICs in the server, but one has a bad switch that causes the link on eth2 to go up/down every 10 seconds. IPconfig would just time out. If I tell ipconfig to only try eth0, then DHCP address is configured, and the netboot proceeds 100%. I'll take a peek at the code but maybe someone here is familiar with the

hey all, i am trying to run a program called 'kintecus' on a mac. it was originally written for win (and linux) machines, so i ended up using wine (to get the windows version running). the problem is, it creates a 'unique computer ID' which you have to send to the author in order for it to work (he will provide then a code that allows you to run the program). this is done when it

From: Geert Stappers <stappers at debian.org> To make klibc-ipconfig transmit the DHCP vendor class "d-i" and get the DHCP preseeding filename in a text file, it needs the attached patch. belows patch allows ipconfig to be used in Debian installer once the hostname is sent too, see http://blog.andrew.net.au/2006/05/17#d-i_dhcp_hacking Signed-off-by: maximilian attems <maks at

Hi, ipconfig is used in ltsp (thin clients) initramfs. Some of the users have to have 2 dhcp servers in ltsp environments, so they hit on this problem: The first dhcp request is from the pxe rom boot code. This code ignores any dhcp offers that don't have a filename field. So they always get the correct address, from the ltsp server. The second dhcp request (in initramfs) is done by

Hello, I found a bug in ipconfig and I'm sending a proposed patch for it. I've only seen it happen in 2 dhcp-server environments. Scenario: ipconfig sends a DHCP_DISCOVER, server A answers with a DHCP_OFFER, server B answers with a DHCP_OFFER, ipconfig sends a DHCP_REQUEST for server A, ipconfig accepts the DHCP_OFFER from server B instead of DHCP_ACK from server A. <== BUG The reason

Hi, it seems that ipconfig has a problem if multiple devices are up and connected to the same network. It seems that it uses the wrong socket/device index to compare it to incoming packet. To be more precise, the packet gets discarded in do_pkt_recv as the ifindex from state differs always from the incoming packet To reproduce create two tap devices: $ sudo tunctl -u uli -t tap0

Hi!! I found your ipconfig stuff in the udev rpm in SuSE 9.1. I'm about to setup a initramfs (pretty cool - much better than initrd) to boot linux diskless clients over the net. All the tools I would need, seem to be there with ipconfig/nfsmount ... I like to use the information I get from PXE/syslinux or Etherboot writing something like:

In general for what most people do ipconfig is equivalent to ifconfig (getting phased out) or ip in linux. What I am trying to do is create ipconfig script that acts identical to the windows behavior's output so I can create better scripts in powershell that work on both platforms. ipconfig has few options that are not listed with ifconfig or ip. The Windows IP Configuration section has two

Hi Rich: I just send a patch to request for your comments, then will do further work about this. things like this: [root at Allen ~]# virt-sysprep --ipconfig="eth0:192.168.1.2,255.255.255.0,192.168.1.1" --enable=ipconfig -d clone-6u1 OR [root at Allen ~]# virt-sysprep -d clone-6u1 Please comments.

When attempting to boot a system using Infiniband interfaces, ipconfig does not recognize Infiniband NICs as having valid MAC addresses, so they are silently ignored. As I would like to be able to netboot using Infiniband, I have patched ipconfig to support Infiniband interfaces. Fortunately, it's a pretty simple and straightforward patch. Below is the patch for your consideration. ---

V1->V2: add the documentation. V2->V3: change the split sign from ":" to "@" for IPv6. Add the the ipconfig for vir-prep.

Hello, I am trying to setup a pxe server, I have a debian box with tftp-hda install, the image in place, and the pxeserver.0 in place. I have a router with udhcpc and I would like to use that as the DHCP server for the pxe server... I have been searching for some sort of document or hint as how to set this up, I could not find anything. Does any one know where a good document on this is located

Hi all, I've recently been experimenting with Xen VMs booted using DHCP/NFS, and that's looking good. One nuisance is that I'm unable to get the DNS to update on the server since there's no hostname in the DHCP request packet. I'm aware that I can specify a hostname using the long-format device name, but this doesn't seem to play well with initramfs. So, I'd like to

Hi, I had the problem that 'ipconfig' as DHCP client in Debian-squeeze could not get DHCP Offer reply from the built-in DHCP server of the cheap route that I have. The name of the router is 'MegaBitGear TE4571E' which I got at contract of ADSL Internet access service in 2009. The router is not too old and can reply to other DHCP clients like ISC-dhclient, WindowsXP and Vista.
