 |
|
When my wireless card boots on bootup, the dhcp times out. When I log in and start it manually it's almost always fine.
On OS X it would occasionally do this on my macbook (before the install) and my moms mini still does it. What could be going?

Are you sure that you're using the same timeout values in both cases? Normally you have something like this in your /etc/conf.d/net:
| Code: |
config_eth1=( "dhcp" )
dhcp_eth1="-t 10"
|
which sets the timeout to 10 seconds. But if you run the dhcpcd command manually and don't give an explicit timeout value it uses the default of 20 seconds. Of course if you start it manually using "/etc/init.d/net.eth1 start" then this should not matter (as this would use the settings from /etc/conf.d/net). So please give more details about how you start it manually. Also, at which rc-level do you start it on boot? I had problems starting my network at 'boot' level, but it works fine at the 'default' one. |
