Hi, after some further testing I noticed that me previously suggested "fix", namely calling dhclient from a live-config hook doesn't even work in our simple setup (NFS-server (or rather CIFS-Server) and client in the same subnet). Booting would always error out with CIFS read errors. I am still wondering why calling dhclient worked after the system ist up.... but haven't dug into it.
I am now using dhcpcd5 from testing (installed in the live system via config/chroot_local-packages/dhcpcd5_5.2.12-1_amd64.deb) and a very simple live-config hook which just executes dhcpcd. The old 3-something version of dhcpcd which is included in squeeze did not work. Maybe others could test this in their setups and if it works debian-live might consider switching to dhcpcd5 as DHCP client. Side note: My impression (mostly from other projects) is that the dhcpcd upstream developer is very resposive to bug reports and feature requests. :-) Hope this helps, Robert. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
