I seem to have a small problem with dhcp, whenever i boot, it is able to connect to my router but i cant get an ip adress assinged.
I have kernel 2.6.15 but i dont use the ipw2200 modules from the kernel, i use the packages since the modules didn't work on my system for some reason.
I have read that there seem to be similar problems around but the solutions didn't work for me. I also read that it might be related to udev or baselayout, my version are here
Code:
sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.14-r2  -bootstrap -build -static +unicode

and for udev
Code:
 sys-fs/udev-079-r1  (-selinux)

my version of ipw2200 is
Code:
net-wireless/ipw2200-1.0.8-r1  -debug -radiotap

for the ipw2200-firmware
Code:
net-wireless/ipw2200-firmware-2.4

and iee20811
Code:
net-wireless/ieee80211-1.1.6  -debug
#
I use wireless-tools and i dont have wep or wpa or anything
my net config is here

Code:
essid_eth1="Default"
sleep_scan_eth0="10"

modules_eth1=( "!iwconifg" )
iwconfig_eth1=( "dhcpcd" )
dhcpcd_eth1="-t 10"

fallback_eth1=( "192.168.1.99 netmask 255.255.255.0" )
fallback_route_eth1=( "gw 192.168.0.1" )

It just stops dhcp and the falls back to my static one it can connect alright
but after that it just says
Code:
gw 192.168.1.1      [!!]

and i still can't connect to the internet, this i really troublesome. I would appreciate help greatly
Thx very much for everything so far
Tane

Your fallback route is wrong
Code:
fallback_route_eth1=( "default gw 192.168.0.1" )

okay thx to you i solved a problem my gateway was wrong it should have been 192.168.1.1 instead of 192.168.0.1 but that still doesnt explain why my dhcp doesnt work?? Well i am sure i can live with this for now. Thx a bunch man
