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.

Thanks,
Helmut.
