Description Blackketter Dean 2005-03-09 11:54:12 UTC

SB2 firmware v4.  Out of about 10 tries, was able to get DHCP lease only once.  DHCP from dhcpd on 
linux works fine.

seems to work ok using wifi-box firmware in teh wrt54g. It is less successful
with a pre-assigned dhcp, taking from the pool regardless.  However, I haven't
re-tested that recently given that MAC addy seems to change every fw reflash

I'm seeing the same problem with an Airport Extreme (v5.5) - DHCP request times out.

Comment 4 Vidur Apparao 2005-03-10 22:57:06 UTC

Turns out to be two problems in the ipOS DHCP client code:

1) Unnecessary padding, which should be accepted by all DHCP servers, but
doesn't seem to be.
2) A non-zero src IP address in the IP header, which violates the RFC.

Both will be fixed in the next fimware rev.

Fixed with latest firmware in 6.0 tree.
