Hi, I am running hostapd on top of backfire (hostapd) on WRT54GL LinkSys device with b43 driver.
I have very simple, minimalistic hostapd configuration. Now , I run on the LinkSys device: hostapd /etc/hostapd.conf and it starts OK. On a nearby Fedora 17 Linux machine I insert wifi USB card, and the Network Manager identifies the BSS (of the hostaod on the LinkSys device). When I try to connect with Network Manager to the LinkSys device I see , in the kernel log of the Linux machine, these messages: ... ... dhclient[2872]: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 9 (xid=0x9dd84e4) dhclient[2872]: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 (xid=0x9dd84e4) NetworkManager[540]: <warn> (wlan0): DHCPv4 request timed out. NetworkManager[540]: <info> (wlan0): canceled DHCP transaction, DHCP client pid 2872 ... ... Over and over again. Now what I understand is that since there is no DHCP server on the LinkSys device, the DHCP requests the the network manager sends are not replied. My question is: Is there a way to tell the Network Manager **not** to send DHCP requests in such a case (when connecting to the AP) ? rgs Kevin -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
