Details

Description:
upon updating dhcpcd to 7.0.1-1, it seems to no longer accept and honor the offered address from the DHCP server. as such, static leases break.

upon switching the relevant netctl profile to DHCPClient='dhclient', i do indeed receive my expected static lease.

(DHCP server in this case is an Actiontec MI424WR-GEN3I, firmware version 40.21.24. I have not tested with other implementations.)

Note: the same static lease was working fine with previous versions of dhcpcd.
This task depends upon

I saw that come in on the mailing lists as well but it seems to be unrelated; this network I noticed the behaviour on is fully IPv4 stack.

Can you show a dhcpcd log for this with debug enabled please? Add this to /etc/dhcpcd.conf

debug
logfile /var/log/dhcpcd.log

Restart dhcpcd. Once an address is configured, attach the log file here please.

same problem here with package: dhcpcd-7.0.1-1-x86_64, with downgrading to dhcpcd-6.11.5-1-x86_64 working again. Here is my debug log:

Sorry for not spotting this reply sooner (no email notificiaton?)

So you're getting a NAK after sending a DISCOVER?
Sounds like a faulty DHCP server.

Could you get a full tcpdump of the transaction that can be viewed in wireshark please?
Also, the same log from dhcpcd-6 would be useful.

Hi, the log I showed you is from dhcpcd. I will do the wireshark stuff tonight
