 |
|
I have AirLink101 card as wlan0 interface.
/etc/config.d/net:
modules=( "ifconfig" "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dndiswrapper"
wpa_timeout_wlan0=60
iface_wlan0="inet dhcp"
config_wlan0=("dhcp")
dhcpcd_wlan0="-t 180" # Timeout after 180 seconds
wpa_supplicant establishes the link.
But dhcpcd is never started.
How to make dhcpcd to start?
My kernel is 2.6.23. |

| should start dhcp client on wlan0 interface. but it should happen automatically with starting the net.wlan0 service. do you have net.wlan0 in /etc/init.d/ folder and /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file? if 'dhcpch wlan0' doesn't work check if there are known issues with your driver. |

I had a problem DHCP as well, though I solved it before I installed wpa_supplicant, so it may have been a different issue:
