does anyone have the same problem.
I am within a university network. after updating to 11.2, i have problem using DHCP.
basically, it seems like the DHCP is keep running even after obtained the ip address, which resulted in a block by the university ITS saying “too many DHCP connection…” within a short period of time.
isn’t this a wired problem. anybody any idea?

A dhcp client HAS to keep running. It will requery at half of
the lease time. So if you have a lease for 6 hours, it will
query at 3 hours to refresh the lease. This is simply how
dhcp works.
One would think the university (what happened to all of the
good schools?) would be referring to something like the number
of clients on the same network connection that are making
dhcp requests (e.g. you have a router/gateway appliance).
Just a guess though…
Hi,
I have the same problem at home. My router lease time is set to 14400 (10 days). But when setting up my notebook with DHCP client, it make repeatly a lot of request to the router. On /var/log/messages I got :

eth1 is a Wifi. I configure everything by Yast. I don’t know where the “-o dhcp” come from … neither “eth1 is not configured for dhcp”. I install the wifi card driver by Yast Software Management.
Is this the HP mini with the Broadcom WiFi chip? Try a recent driver from Broadcom (you may have to compile it yourself), apparently older drivers would drop out the connection. I just set up a friend’s HP mini with the recent driver and it’s stable.
Hi,
Yes, I have a Hp Compaq Mini 311c (1070SF), with a Broadcom Wifi on OpenSuse 11.2
I updated the kernel (2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop), dhcpcd (dhcpcd-3.2.3-47.4.1.i586)
I compiled and installed the Broadcom driver from Broadcom.com - 802.11 Linux STA driver
But … nothing changed. I still have the “lost lease” problem.

Disable avahi
If you’re going to run dhcp, you want avahi daemons disabled.
Just an idea.
