I am having problems with dhcp on my wireless interface. Which is

Some ask if it's because association with the AP is taking too long, but
I know it is not that, because I am manually starting wpa_supplicant
(which fails in gentoo init scripts for some reason, looks like it's
being called wrong). And that takes care of the association.
So confused...
Looks like I got it... Further investigation showed that dhcpcd was
requesting 192.168.1.103 , when it had 1.100 before. I force it to
request .100 and it immediately worked...
Anyone know what that was all about?
If you are using dnsmasq, note from the man page:
-K, --dhcp-authoritative
Should be set when dnsmasq is definatively the only DHCP server
on a network. It changes the be- haviour from strict RFC compliance so that
DHCP requests on unknown leases from unknown hosts are not ignored. This
allows new hosts to get a lease without a tedious timeout under all circum-
stances.
Good luck.
