after a day or so messing around with it i finally got my laptop connected to my wireless network, encryption and all. except for one thing(and this is probably a very noob-ish question)... now that im connected to the network how do i pickup an ip?

Code:

dhcpcd interface_name

example:

Code:

dhcpcd ath0

try

Code:

dhcpcd wlan0

or whatever your wifi is called (assuming you use dhcp), otherwise:

Code:

ifconfig wlan0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

if you use static ip

dhcpcd works beautifully, thank you!
