[pkg-dhcp-devel] Bug#806789: isc-dhcp-client doesn't work with infiniband device

[Oscar Lozano]

Package: isc-dhcp-client
Version: 4.3.1-6
Severity: normal

The isc-dhcp-client doesn't recognize infiniband devices as a type supported to use it on a dhcp request.
I think this behavior was reported in ticket #786350 (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=786350) but it doesn't have an answer yet.

As an example, I attach the output of a dhcp request over a ib0 device.

$ dhclient -v ib0

Unsupported device type 32 for "ib0"

If you think you have received this message due to a bug rather
than a configuration issue please read the section on submitting

before submitting a bug.  These pages explain the proper
process and the information we find helpful for debugging..

exiting.

Thanks,
