I have a DWL-G650 wirless card setup. The problem is the following # ifdown eth0 # ifup ath0 Starting DHCP Client Daemon on ath0... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . no IP address yet... backgrounding.

The IP address never comes. Here is my ifcfg-ath0 -
BOOTPROTO='dhcp' DHCLIENT_SET_DOWN_LINK='yes' MTU='' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STARTMODE='hotplug' UNIQUE='svHJ.FrNZIE+DaY2' WIRELESS_ESSID='6' WIRELESS_KEY='xxxxxxxx' WIRELESS_MODE='Managed' WIRELESS_NICK='' WIRELESS_NWID=''
Is there something I need to do in the above file ? or something else is wrong ?
I have had a similar problem with a DHCP server: I hadn't get an ip-adress. I had to create the file /etc/resolv.conf first and inserted the following: nameserver an_ip_adress search group.domain Write what you wand for "group.domain", in my case, SuSE only wanted the file to exist. Than it worked! Andreas
the eth0 comes up without any problems
iwconfig
ath0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"6" Nickname:"naxer" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.417GHz Access Point: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF Bit Rate:1Mb/s Tx-Power:off Sensitivity=0/3 Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Security mode:open Power Management:off Link Quality:0/94 Signal level:-95 dBm Noise level:-95 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

... I didn't have that problem, maybe because I tried a 'wired' connection first. Maybe you should also read the thread 'Wireless routing' from a few days ago. Now that you post that ifcfg-file I remember what I removed to get it working : DHCLIENT_SET_DOWN_LINK='yes' (I don't know what it means B.T.W.). But if I'll try to test this, this weekend. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong R&D Manager ACE electronics n.v.
