Hi Qipeng,
I added a dhcpcd.conf file to the 'system/etc/dhcpcd' directory and it
simply contains:
# dhcpcd configuration for Android Wi-Fi interface
# See dhcpcd.conf(5) for details.
interface wlan0
# dhcpcd-run-hooks uses these options.
option subnet_mask, routers, domain_name_servers
In my init.rc file, I have a line to start up wpa_supplicant and
another to start up dhcpcd on the wlan0 device.
When I login to the device and type "ps", I see the various services
that I'm starting up from init.rc, but I don't see the dhcpcd service.
Should I have to create the directory where dhcpcd stores it's leases
and all that as well?
Is there some document that describes ALL the pieces that I need to
setup for this to completely work? I appreciate the help..
Regards
-- Ashwin
