Hi,
I'm having a strange problem with dhclient:
| Code: | pjgat09-laptop pjgat09 # dhclient ath0
Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.1.1-Gentoo
Copyright 2004-2008 Internet Systems Consortium.
All rights reserved.

wifi0: unknown hardware address type 801
wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801
Can't allocate interface athlease {
interface . |
This happens for all of my wireless cards, as well as my ethernet card. This happens if I run it manually or if I use the scripts in /etc/init.d/, with the exception that the error appears in the system log and not on screen.
This started happening about an hour ago, after a reboot. I made no changes to any important configuration files before restarting as far as I know, and dhclient was working with no issues before that.
Any ideas on how to get it working again? Thanks!

Well I found the culprit. This was in /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases:
| Code: | lease {
interface "athlease {
interface "eth0";
...
...
} |
Removing the athlease line fixed the problem, but I'm still curious as to how that even got in there. Any ideas? |
