Hello,

We have some desktop running debian Jessie which lost the network every
few days. At that time we got the following messages in syslog:

Dec  9 20:07:57 chilopoda NetworkManager[605]: <info> (eth0): DHCPv4 client pid 936 exited with status -1
Dec  9 20:07:57 chilopoda NetworkManager[605]: <warn> DHCP client died abnormally

We have to restart manually dhclient to get the network back.

Sincerely yours,

This isn't enough information.  Is it a problem any more?  If so,
please attach config files etc.

Best wishes,
