* [ISSUE] Anyone opposed to dropping runtime dhclient dependency for NetworkManager @ 2019-06-05 15:45 voidlinux-github 2019-06-05 15:50 ` voidlinux-github ` (3 more replies) 0 siblings, 4 replies; 5+ messages in thread From: voidlinux-github @ 2019-06-05 15:45 UTC (permalink / raw) To: ml [-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1151 bytes --] New issue by thomas-t-w on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/12167 Description: NetworkManager has a built in dhcp server which I have been using for a few days now. It seems to be faster and more reliable in band steering senarios. I have tested on a few networks, one being Eduroam which uses wpa2 enterprise and I haven't had troubles. I would propose that the runtime dependency only be dropped and the default still be left at dhclient. If dhclient isn't installed. if a user installed NetworkManager, they will get the built-in dhcp server by default because NetworkManager falls back to that. If the user installs dhclient, they will get that because it is set by default which makes it easy if someone runs into a problem which I don't expect but it is obviously possible. If a user has dhclient installed and they want the dhcp server built into NetworkManager, they clearly know what they are doing and can change it manually in NetworkManagers config. Any opposed to this change? I will leave this open for a few days and close it if I don't hear anything and open a pull request with the change. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

See this wiki article. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager#DHCP_client set dhcp=internal in NetworkManagers config files. Or you can do what I did: xbps-remove -F dhclient. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I just checked my logs and NetworkManager defaults to the internal client on my system despite dhclient being available. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
