Guix, While testing #35563, I found that "dhcp-client" does not work on a kernel that has CONFIG_IPV6_SIT=y. The reason is that the system has a virtual "sit0" interface that is not capable of ARP traffic, which dhclient does not approve of: May 9 16:18:37 localhost dhclient: Unsupported device type 776 for "sit0" You can `modprobe sit` on your system if you want to reproduce the failure. The attached patch solves it for me.
