Before submitting this to bugzilla.redhat.com, I hope you won't mind my asking your advice here. I just returned from a round trip to Florida, and thanks to your hard work I was able to use WiFi everywhere I went, and I can't thank you enough.
However, upon my return I decided to catch up on all the updates and now my FC10 installation is up to date. However, WiFi doesn't work any more, or to be exact, dhcp doesn't. I have a d-link router that does both wired and wireless, and my laptop can connect either way. dhclient eth0 works fine, dhclient wlan0 doesn't. However, I can manually assign an IP address to wlan0, edit the routing tables and /etc/resolv.conf, and WiFi works just fine. The router is configured to use a specific IP address for eth0 and a different one for wlan0, using their MAC addresses as a index. I asked about this on the Fedora networking forum and only got a reply from someone else having a similar problem. So my questions are: Is this a problem with dhclient, wpa_supplicant, or b43 (or something else)? Can you suggest a way to troubleshoot this? I can see nothing at all unusual in any logs and I won't clog up your inbox with dumps unless you ask for them. Here's all I ever get from dhclient # dhclient -v -d wlan0 Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client 4.0.0 Copyright 2004-2007 Internet Systems Consortium. All rights reserved. For info, please visit http://www.isc.org/sw/dhcp/ Listening on LPF/wlan0/00:90:96:7b:45:f1 Sending on LPF/wlan0/00:90:96:7b:45:f1 Sending on Socket/fallback DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 12 DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 15 DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 19 DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7 No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. etc... The current kernel: 2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.x86_64 There are several other WiFi devices on this network getting good responses from dhcp, so I don't think it is the router, and there are no other APs for miles. Any insights would be much appreciated, and thanks for your time. -- Frank _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
