My laptop is a HP zv5320, I have eth0 working fine and with ndiswrapper, I can get wlan0 working with WEP. Adding wpa_supplicant to the mix and I can connect to the AP fine, but dhcp doesn't seem to work properly. No route and no dns ever gets set up.
I'm hoping someone can answer these for me...
1) Do I have to bring eth0 down in order for dhcp to work on wlan0?
Yes, you can't have two live interfaces both updating your default route and DNS at the same time. The first one will take precedence. I ran into this same situation on my Toshiba laptop (which has built-in ethernet and wireless). The solution is to create two SCPM profiles, one with ethernet enabled but no wireless, and the other with wireless enabled but no ethernet. Then, create two grub boot entries so that I could choose to boot with either profile.
Thanks Ti! That's very informative... I'm going to give it a shot. I appreciate the detailed info and pointers!
Scott That is a very good idea, but it would not work for me (I think) I need both interfaces up at work, to access two networks.
