[TriLUG] having trouble getting wpa setup

[Nick Goldwater]

I am using the following:
Filename: pool/main/d/dhcp3/dhcp3-client_3.0.4-12ubuntu4_i386.deb

Here is my dhclient.conf -- never touched.

cat /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
# Configuration file for /sbin/dhclient, which is included in Debian's
#       dhcp3-client package.
#
# This is a sample configuration file for dhclient. See dhclient.conf's
#       man page for more information about the syntax of this file
#       and a more comprehensive list of the parameters understood by
#       dhclient.
#
# Normally, if the DHCP server provides reasonable information and does
#       not leave anything out (like the domain name, for example), then
#       few changes must be made to this file, if any.
#

send host-name "<hostname>";
#send dhcp-client-identifier 1:0:a0:24:ab:fb:9c;
#send dhcp-lease-time 3600;
#supersede domain-name "fugue.com home.vix.com";
#prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;

I can't get my dhcpcd to recognize ath0. I can ifrename ath0 
to eth0 and get my dhcpcd to work. I thought that the 
problem was that my dhcpcd was too old (from 2003) but I 
find that it's the latest release.

dhcpcd-1.3.22-pl4

what is your dhcpd client that accepts ath0?

hmm, looking in my built tree I see dhcdbd, which needs
a working hald (I don't expect mine is in real good shape)
and which has a conf file with RedHat specific entries, 
which I don't understand.


Thanks Joe
