<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi,<br><br>I was recently going through the how to located here:<br><br> <a href="http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/WpaSupplicant" target="_blank">http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/WpaSupplicant</a><br>
<br>This how-to shows the steps to follow to get a wifi interface working without using NetworkManager and subsequently how to have wireless working withouth having a user login.<br><br>Anyways, when going through this I was having issues because everything seemed to work but I was never getting an IP address when the system booted up.<br>
<br></div>After lots of looking at this and working at understanding what everything does I found the that prepnet startup script was killing dhclient using this command:<br><br> killall dhclient >/dev/null 2>&1.<br>
<br>I first attempted to remove this and after that didn't work I simply changed the line to call dhclient instead. Making this change seems to have solved my issues.<br><br></div>I'm wondering if this guide was built more for someone using a static as opposed to a dynamic IP address? I'm not sure why dhclient is being killed especially since calling it seems to have worked for me.<br>
<br>Anyways, does anyone have any ideas if I'm doing something wrong or if the documentation needs a refresher and maybe a step or two on configuration for static vs dynamic ip addresses?<br><br></div>Thanks,<br>Dan<br>
