 Posted: Sun Feb 20, 2005 7:29 pm Post subject: Another wireless DHCP problem |
 |
|
I've followed the wireless guide on the Gentoo wiki, and things are pretty much working. I have set my ESSID and encryption in /etc/conf.d/wireless and it all seems well.
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start |
runs fine until the DHCP section, when it bombs out. Here's my output:
| Code: | * Starting eth1
* Loading networking modules for eth1
* modules: iwconfig essidnet iptunnel ifconfig dhcpcd apipa
* iwconfig provides wireless
* ifconfig provides interface
* dhcpcd provides dhcp
* Configuring wireless network for eth1
* Scanning for access points
* Found "something" at 00:0D:88:98:D2:2B (WEP required)
* Connecting to "something" (WEP enabled - open) ... [ ok ]
* eth1 connected to "something" at 00:0D:88:98:D2:2B
* in auto mode (WEP enabled - open)
* Configuring eth1 for "something" ... [ ok ]
* Bringing up eth1
* dhcp
* Running dhcpcd ... [ !! ]
|
If I then run , I am given an IP address and am connected perfectly. Since actually getting assigned an IP is a pretty simple affair, I'm hoping it won't be too traumatic to get net.eth1 fully working for me. I've had a look in the init script, but it's not immediately obvious to me where the dhcpcd bit takes place.
Any thoughts? |

Hi,
same problem here, although, a bit different, I'm using a D-Link DWL-G650 (airplus xtreme g) cardbus adapter with a D-Link DI-624 wireless router... but same problem, without WEP everything works perfectly, with WEP (or wpa_psk) nothing goes anymore...
Maybe you already found a solution? I would love to have wep or wpa on my wireless lan. |

| Basically it means the WEP key isn't setup correctly. |

Hi,
Thanks for your replies. In the meanwhile I solved my problem: took the brandnew docs from the gentoo-wiki http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Wireless_Configuration_and_Startup and used the wpa_supplicant method, so by now I've got my wlan (a router D-Link DI-624 and a cardbuscard D-Link DWL-G650 AirPlus Extreme G) up and running with wpa_psk encryption.
That's what I wanted...  |

Heh - I didn't read the last command you did :/
You could always try extending the timeout of dhcpcd of using another dhcp client (I use udhcpc from the unstable udhcp package myself) |

Hi,
no, even setting a greater timeout, nor running running dhcpcd by hand fixed the problem... so I had to look further...
sorry for mentioning this befor... I was just so happy with my running config  |
