I have a dell laptop with fedora core 2
my wireless card is installed and works fine and finds my Acces Point, however when I try to run dhclient to obtain an IP address I get this:
/sbin/dhclient-script: configuration for wlan0 not found.
dhclient.c(2046): null pointer
DHCPDECLINE on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8
DHCPOFFER from 192.168.0.1
DHCPREQUEST on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPACK from 192.168.0.1
over and over agian until i terminate it.
I havfe no idea why this won't work. I looked in dhclient-script, but its just a bunch of code and i have no idea how i could make it work for wlan0. Please help!
