           Summary: dhclient fails to run; capabilities error
           Product: Networking
           Version: 2.5
     KernelVersion: 2.6.26-rc2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1

Latest working kernel version: 2.6.25
Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.26-rc1
Distribution: Kubuntu Hardy
Hardware Environment: AMD
Software Environment:
Problem Description: On a default Kubuntu Hardy install, I fetched the git tree
from Linus; compiled and installed the kernel. This persists even with
2.6.26-rc2+ (commit f26a3988917913b3d11b2bd741601a2c64ab9204)

If this isn't known, I'll bisect and report the bad commit

Steps to reproduce: 'sudo dhclient eth2' returns

drop_privileges: could not keep capabilities: Invalid argument

eth2 is an e1000e card.

whoa, weird.  Could you please run `sudo strace -f dhclient eth2' and send us
the last page or so of output?
