It's normal for dhclient to run on all interfaces if none are provided on the command line. This is irrespective of what's in dhclient.conf see the discussion in #270890 for more details, as well as the dhclient man page. > $ grep -rn ARPHRD_VOID /usr/include > /usr/include/linux/if_arp.h:89:#define ARPHRD_VOID 0xFFFF > /* Void type, nothing is known */ > > Notice also that ifconfig deals with it just fine. I'll work up a patch to ignore interfaces of this type, add it to the next revision of the package, and send the patch upstream. regards Andrew
