WAN DHCP Problem
-
It's a NIC driver issue that's outside of our control, may want to try a 2.1 snapshot since it has a newer base OS where that may not be an issue. See the 2.1 board heree.

Thanks for the info. I've been searching for problems related to the VR4 driver which supports the VT6105M NIC on 8.1, but I'm coming up empty. Can you share where you found that? I'm curious as to the exact issue, and in what release it's fixed.

An earlier post reported this problem on sk interfaces. Are you seeing a similar problem on vr interfaces?

I have the same issue with my Cable Modem and em interface when I do mac address cloning. Interface flaps up and down sometimes. I don't know what triggers it. Now that I have selected 100BT Half Duplex, it seems to be working good. I don't think it is as simple as driver issues in FreeBSD.

Did you ever try JimP's suggestion, here?

Can you reference the post, and I'll take a look?

Yes, I did make those changes to my inc files but no help. Still some up and down flapping loop.

See replies 3, 9 and 11 of this topic. I'm curious if this is a problem of a particular class of NIC or a more generic DHCP problem.

Pre-2.0.1 would flap repeatedly when MAC spoofing in some circumstances, upgrade to 2.0.1 to fix that.

Sorry.. I thought you were talking about another thread. Yes, this is the same issue except with the vr interfaces. It only happens with DHCP, and I can replicate it every time.
