dhclient ?


I installed FC10 on a laptop, but the wireless card isn't being detected correctly. It works though to run the following commands manually:

ifconfig wlan0 up
iwlist wlan0 scan

Then take the output from the previous command and determine what network you to connect to and then issue a:

iwconfig wlan0 essid <network>

and then finally issue a:

dhclient wlan0

Well I tryed to put all of this into a Lazarus Program (www.lazarus.freepascal.org) and it all works pretty well except for dhclient. dhclient pretty much hangs, should I be putting a -c in front of the command or do I need to do something more?

Thx in advance.

If you run dhclient manually (not as part of your script), does it throw up any errors? Is dhclient.conf set up properly?
cheers,

Yes it runs fine from the command prompt. I am assuming that the variables built into the command prompt are the problem.
