Brooks et. al., I have just spent a miserable time fighting with the new dhclient. I am currently working in Seattle getting a very large network ready for a bit computer show next month. I have excellent signal strength and don't ever see the association drop. But I keep loosing my address and long before the lease expires. For a while I was seeing the address vanish more than once a minute. Ack! I assumed that dhclient was exiting, but then I did "ps -ax | grep dhclient" and I discovered that I had a whole bunch of processes, half [priv] and half not, all on the same interface. This looked rather broken to me. I had "restarted" dhclient several times, so I suspect it was not really exiting when the network died and the address went away. I know that if_wi does not play nice with the 802.11 modem but I really don't think this should be happening. It's rally annoying! I don't see this on my home wireless, but I have seen it several times while traveling. I see it occasionally at work. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
