Hi guys!

Anyone know how to release and renew a DHCPv4 lease when wicked is used for networking in openSUSE 42.1?
Can’t find it in manuals.

Thank you!

Does DHCP always controlled by dhclient with either wickd or NetworkManager? Could you please try the following command in Konsole to find out?

sudo dhclient -r && sudo dhclient

The first part is to release and 2nd part to renew.

Hopefully this could help. I am just a newbie to Linux trying to help.

It’s sad, but wicked uses own implementation of DHCP client.
So dhclient tools isn’t installed even.

Oops, sorry for the misguiding.

Restart the network service

systemctl restart network.service

Also,
If my laptop has a hardware key, switch or button that turns your wireless (WiFi/BT,etc) on and off, you can hit that button to turn your wireless off, wait a few seconds, then re-enable your wireless.

Or just take the interface down then up again eg

ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0
