Wireless-multi-APs-dhcp-conf.d/wireless-nameservers

[oot]

I'd like to get more than one AP going. I had been using a local motel for file scrounging.
I now have more possibilities that 'essid_eth0="any" can't do anymore.

Everything in etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts and conf.d/net commented.

In conf.d/wireless;

When
essid_eth0="any"
and everything else commented, i get internet access at the motel. No problems.
BUTT
When i comment out the 'essid_eth0="any"' and do instead;
config_motel=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_motel="-R"
I'm connected to the motel (iwconfig shows "motel" as essid and nickname) but unable to resolve hostnames.

Does this mean when i comment 'essid_eth0="any"' and instead goto a per essid setup, i have to explicitly provide a nameserver list, too?

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

doesn't the -R option in dhcpcd prevent dhcpcd from overwriting /etc/resolv.conf.... This would make it so that you couldn't resolve hostnames...

What i thought i'd noticed before by using the -R is that the original resolv.conf was temporarily renamed resolv.conf.sav till you closed the current connection, then original was renamed back again.
I'll have to check that out. I very well could be mistaken.
I'll post back in a few days after i have the laptop out again.
Thanks for the info!
