[nycbug-talk] |OBSD Problem| - DHCP (network card) 'no DHCPOFFERS received'

Fri Dec 3 11:35:33 EST 2004

Hey guys.
Funny, but I got my DHCP problem again.
Remember no DHCPOFFERS and stuff.
So my card work fine in OBSD for some time until
I setup GAG to boot to windows (for some
of my devices) I used OBSD for awhile,then I had to 
boot to windows, all was ok.
As soon as I boot back to OBSD 
my NIC started doing this weird stuff again.
I saved dmesg (same one as I provided before)
I tried playing with bios - changing IRQs - no luck.
I tried setting windows IP to static, thinking maybe
the gate remembers somehow my mac/ip/os info - of
course no luck (stupid idea)
I took out the card off and in 2 
secs put it back into the slot(same one), 
it started working again (DHCP gives me a lease)
As soon as I boot back to windows and then back to
OBSD
- NIC gives me after few lines 'no DHCPOFFERS' I saved
 dmesg which when compared was the same as when the 
ard was working, except this line:
"arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo"
Anyway, I tried and I searched forums - no relevant
information to help me. I changed this 'Davicom
DM9102'
NIC to '3Com 3c905C 100Base-TX' NIC I did not do 
anything else - my problem disappeared.
Now I can boot into different systems without taking 
NIC out and back in for network for OBSD to work.
Just wanted to follow up on the problem for future 
reference. So, if you have something to add - please
do, otherwise I assume that the problem was in the NIC
itself or BIOS. 
Here is the dmesg (when card was working ok dmesg is 
the same except it did not have "arpresolve: can't 
allocate llinfo" line.)

Thanks a lot.
Sincerely,
GT
