DHCP client error: domain_not_set.invalid

[Sebastiaan van Erk]

I had this as well. It means that your DHCP server returns an invalid 
search domain.

The easy way to solve it (if you have access) is to set the search 
domain to something valid in your DHCP server (Linksys router by any 
chance?). I couldn't find a flag on dhclient to tell it to ignore 
invalid search domains: this would be really handy so that you can 
connect to badly set up networks when you don't have access to the router.

Greetings,
