Thanks for telling me exactly what to do. I need that. The change
you suggested, changing /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0
so the MODE is managed rather than master gets rid of the error message.
Now the next hurdle is getting it to work on bootup, if that is an
appropriate goal. After bootup, iwconfig wlan0 shows
wlan0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"linksys"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: 00:0F:66:D0:F7:42
Tx-Power=27 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B
Encryption key:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
so dhclient fails at that time. Later by hand I told it
/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 channel 6 essid "linksys"
and that makes it work and the output from iwconfig is
wlan0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"linksys"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: 00:0F:66:D0:F7:42
Bit Rate=1 Mb/s Tx-Power=27 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B
Encryption key:off
Link Quality=43/100 Signal level=-70 dBm Noise level=-98 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
and I don't understand why I'm having to do this since the essid and the
frequency were already correct the first time.
