Dear Maintainer,

It used to work, but since some time (one or two weeks maybe) no IP gets configured and I have to run dhclient from the console before I can access it via the network.
It's a VM on my personal computer.
I don't see any dhclient entries before these ones, which are after I ran dhclient manually from the console.

Gr,

Olaf

Hi,

Another VM hits the same issue and installing debian testing from the
weekly snapshot fails.. should priority be increased?

Gr,

Olaf
