 Posted: Sun Jun 07, 2009 4:56 pm Post subject: static IPs with NetworkManager in multiple WLANs? |
 |
|
hi and good evening,
i have a new horstbox (wlan router, dsl-modem, ...) and 4 computers that use the internet connection of the horstbox in my lan. the horstbox is configured to be a dhcp-server and the access point of my wlan. now i want to disable the dhcp-server and use static ips in my lan. this should not be the problem.
BUT: i use my laptop at the university and the wlan there (with dhcp), and i also use the wlan at home. so i decided to use the (k)networkmanager. my question is now, how can is set up / configure my wlan-device that it will use the correct configuration in the correct wlan? and how can i configure networkmanager to use a hidden essid?
thanks for all hints, tipps and tricks!

I don't know about networkmanager, but I know gentoo's net initscript and wpa_supplicant can handle per-ssid configurations. Perhaps if you set these, networkmanager will know what to make of them.

ok, i found the per-essid-configuration in the gentoo handbook. this is what i have done:
| Code: |
modules=("wpa_supplicant")
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext"
config_myssid=("192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255")
routes_myssid=("default via 192.168.1.1")
dns_servers_myssid=("192.168.1.1")
config_universityssid=("dhcp")
|
and it works for my network when i manually start /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 and set wlan0 up with ifconfig. but networkmanager cannot connect to my wlan.
have i to define something i don't know or seems it to be impossible?
thanks! |

ok, i simply removed networkmanager from the bootlevels and let wlan0 start at boot-time. now the wpa_supplicant starts directly and it seems taht i am connected to the correct acces point.
is there a way to check where i am connected?
