dhcp in woody
Hi,
I'm writing to this list because my problem is on the network
configuration, not in the laptop or the pcmcia package. I explain it...
I make a clean instalation of woody, and when it has finished, i make
dhcpd and the script catches all the network configuration of the
network in my university. When i try to compile a new kernel, all is
right, but when i try to make dhcpd running it fails. I've noticed that
in the clean installation the wireless device is named eth1 (eth0 is a
standar network device). When i compile the new kernel and the pcmcia
packge with the driver for my wireless card the device is named wlan0
instead of eth1. Maybe could be that the problem, but i can't repair it.
When i run dhclient with my new kernel (and pcmcia card working
perfectly, im absolutely sure), it appears the device, wlan0, but the
network is not configured. With ifconfig i get a BROADCAST RUNNING,
nothing else. In potato that works perfectly with the same wireless
card.
I had the same problem with a standar pci ethernet card in another
computer, when i changed from potato to woody, so the problem must be in
the differences in the new woody in front of potato. I had to come back
to potato the last time (but im not going to make the same).
Can anyone help me? Thank you very much...
