I prefer to do this on the DHCP server, that way all my network
configuration is in one place and if I move a computer to a different
network it will still work as DHCP is enabled. Most DHCP servers let
you
map MAC addresses to IP addresses.

Yes, that's a typo of course
It should read dns_servers_wlan0="192.168.1.1"
I've written this from memory since I don't have access to that
machine
at the moment.
That last line is wrong, is the network not working at all or is it
just
DNS resolution that is failing?
It says something like "network not ready", but I'll check this
afternoon.
I remember that ifconfig wlan0 did show the right IP.
Now, from the machine in question,
I get
connect: Network is unreachable
/var/log/messages shows

This is the reason
But where is wpa_cli started, when I have
config_wlan0="dhcp" instead of
config_wlan0="192.168.1.33 netmsk 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"
Sometimes, openrc is hard. I even don't know where to start searching.
Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.
