> Hi,
>
> I have a netgear WA311T wlan card installed on my FC5 pc with
madwifi-0.9.2-1.lvn5
> driver. I also have a linksys W54GT broadband router with dhcp server
enabled. Now the problem is when I try to set a static ip (192.168.7.10)
on the wlan card with the command "netconfig -d ath0" followed by "service
network restart" it sets the static ip which is shown by the ifconfig
output. But as I reboot my pc what I find that wlan card always sets the
dhcp ip (192.168.7.102) [dhcp range is 192.168.7.100 -150]. The strange
thing that the ifconfig output shows the ip 192.168.7.102, but when I see
the file etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ath0 , the IPADDR written as
192.168.7.10. I just do service network restart and now the ip set as
192.168.7.10 also showing by ifconfig output. When I reboot my pc
> again the ifconfig output sets the dhcp ip as 192.168.7.102. I make the
dhcp server down, I see that during reboot the wlan card never set any ip
for dhcp failure though it has static ip set and the ifconfig output says
that no ip is assigned with wlan card. Why the wlan card always looks for
dhcp address? Is it default behavior ? Happening also for Dlink Wlan card.
But not with fc4 os.What to do. Pls help me.
