[Bug 868748] [NEW] netroot dhclient does not get ip

[komputes]

Public bug reported:

The 'netroot' option which usually runs dhclient, no longer gets an IP
address in Oneiric. This might have to do with a change in behavior of
dhclient.

Before, running dhclient without arguments got an IP address on any/all
interfaces. Now, dhclient does nothing. dhclient eth0 works. Recovery
mode used to grab an IP address automatically at boot. Now in oneiric,
it does not get an IP automatically and netroot doesn't get an IP
either.
