[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#578610: /usr/sbin/NetworkManager: Re: network-manager: please make dhcp_timeout and association timeout configurable

[Hermann Lauer]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.10.0-7
Followup-For: Bug #578610

Dear Maintainer,

dhclient is killed after 45 seconds (see below) and there seems to be no
possibility to increase this timeout in NetworkManager.

Thanks,
 greetings
  Hermann
