From: mike sleczkowski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> asked,
Ok, this one's driving me crazy (a short drive at that...) I'm running 2 senao Prism cards with HostAP drivers on RH9 linux. One card is should pick up a signal from SFLAN, and get assigned a dhcp lease. The other card functions fine as an AP, utilizing HostAP drivers and assigning dhcp leases via dhcpd. For some reason, the client card has never picked up a dhcp lease, regardless of which AP I associate with.
My question: could there be a problem with binding HostAP drivers and using dhclient, or can I not run both a dhclient and a dhcp server on the same host? Has anyone else attempted this?
Hi Mike,
I don't think the hostap driver can pick up dhcp offers. Try another driver, http://www.linux-wlan.com/linux-wlan/ Hostap is only for "master mode". You need to set your card to "managed mode".
After installing the above driver use the commands,
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid=sflan?? authtype=opensystem dhclient wlan0
To get an ip address.
