Actually, thanks to Drew, I found I was making a syntax error. Once I started the daemon correctly, it worked fine. I was concerned about the hostap driver, but it doesn't seem to matter.

Subject: [BAWUG] dhcp client on senao card

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.
