Re: Virtualbox Squeeze guest network client failure

[Jan de Haan <haan.j.de@gmail.com>]

Thanks for your reaction and sugestion, Otavio. It doesn't seem likely though:

>�this is likely a kernel issue with your NIC.

I tested this by changing the (virtual) hardware type of the nic of the Debian�

Squeeze guest from�"PCnet-FAST III (Am79C973)" to "Intel PRO/1000 T Server (82543GC)",

commenting out the first eth0 in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and setting

the eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces back from auto to allow-hotplug.

No effect. The same bug (no dhcp supplied address acquired on the nic) showed up.

Changing from allow-hotplug to auto also remedied this.

I'll try this evening putting a "pre-up sleep 5" in interfaces and report back.

Sincerely,

Jan.

In this case, the best is to file a bug against linux-2.6 kernel since
this is likely a kernel issue with your NIC.
