--- Begin Message ---Package: isc-dhcp-client Version: 4.1.1-P1-17 Severity: grave File: /sbin/dhclient-script Today I noticed that ifup using dhcp kept failing, and I had to add the routes manually. The problem was in running dhclient, which would give an error when executing the following shell command from /sbin/dhclient-script: ip -4 addr add 192.168.101.18/255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.101.255 dev wlan0 label wlan0 The error was: Error: an inet prefix is expected rather than "192.168.101.18/255.255.255.0". In the address, the information after the slash needs to be the number of "1" bits in the netmask, rather than the netmask itself. The following hacky diff fixes it for me, but I doubt it's the best fix: --- /sbin/dhclient-script 2011-05-19 02:13:42.000000000 -0400 +++ /sbin/dhclient-script 2011-06-08 19:17:00.000000000 -0400 @@ -140,6 +140,7 @@ fi if [ -n "$new_subnet_mask" ]; then new_mask="/$new_subnet_mask" + new_mask_bits=`echo "$new_subnet_mask" | awk -F.
