[Bug 190359] Re: dhclient continually seeks ip address on unconnected interface

[Jonas Häggqvist]

Hi Robert,

What is the contents of your /etc/network/interfaces?

I had the following:

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Which caused this to happen. This is on a Debian system, but I'd be
surprised if it's not the same issue. My "fix" was simply to remove
these lines and let network-manager handle the interface.

I would have expected ifupdown (guessing that's responsible) to be able
to do cable sensing and not just keep trying.
