2006-01-30 15:56:42 Scott James Remnant (Canonical) dhcp3: statusexplanation Bugzilla status=NEW, product=Ubuntu, component=dhcp3-client DHCP of your hardware network interfaces is no longer in the critical path of the boot process, so it doesn't matter how long the timeout is.

2006-12-22 22:05:31 Sebastian Breier dhcp3: statusexplanation DHCP of your hardware network interfaces is no longer in the critical path of the boot process, so it doesn't matter how long the timeout is. I'm reopening this as unconfirmed without assignee, because it's in feisty again. The default dhclient.conf has a "timeout 30" line and makes the boot process stall for a long time. I just wonder if there is a good reason for such a high timeout?

2007-02-19 16:55:27 Martin Pitt gnome-network: statusexplanation Gnome packages are not related at all to the boot sequence (neither to hibernate/resume; they just trigger it, but not control it)

2007-02-19 16:58:07 Martin Pitt dhcp3: statusexplanation I'm reopening this as unconfirmed without assignee, because it's in feisty again. The default dhclient.conf has a "timeout 30" line and makes the boot process stall for a long time. I just wonder if there is a good reason for such a high timeout? In Feisty, the DHCP timeout has been lowered to 30 seconds, which is a good balance between working with slow DHCP servers and not getting too annoyed. Also, if you have a non-permanent internet connection, then you should just use network manager and use the Gnome network tool to disable the static configuration. I consider this not a problem any more. Please shout out if I misunderstood and you still think that something needs to be changed. Thank you!
