Hello
I am new to OpenBSD. I installed it on an Asus EeePC without much difficulty. I
am trying to get both the ethernet port as well as the wireless to connect to
my router via DHCP.
The ethernet port (ale0) works perfectly - makes a request for DHCP and gets an
IP. The wifi (rel0) fails with the message:
--
DHCPDISCOVER on ral0 - interval 3
interface ale0 already has the offered subnet!
--
I get this message at boot as well as when I execute dhclient ral0
I am guessing that ral0 is being offered the same IP as the ale0 interface by
the DHCP server (i.e. my outer) and that is the source of this conflict.
However, I am unable to resolve the problem. Other machines (Win/Mac) connected
to the router - simultaniously via wifi as well as ethernet - dont have this
issue.
I am pretty sure I have setup the wifi correctly - when I boot with the
ethernet cable disconnected the wifi interface gets an IP and I am able to
remote login to it.
When wifi is connected and I try dhclient ale0 I get a similar message -
“...interface ral0 already has the offered subnet!”.
Below is contents from the hostname.* file for both interfaces as well as
dhclient.conf.
I have read the manual sections on dhclient.conf, ifclient, as well as
hostname.if but have not found a solution to this issue. Could someone point me
in the right direction
Thanks
