Hi,
I am trying to manually configure my wireless card to use dhcp. I followed the wireless setup wiki page, installed the driver, added the module to rc.conf, and verified that it is working by running 'ifconfig -a' and 'iwlist wlan0 scan'. So far so good. My wireless network is WPA protected, so I set up wpa_supplicant according to that wiki page and that seems to be working too. When I run 'dhcpd wlan0', I get error messages such as "No subnet declaration for wlan0" and "Not configured to listen on any interfaces".
I tried setting up dhcpd.conf according to http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=49114 and http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=49131, but neither worked. I also tried adding wlan0 to the interfaces array in rc.conf (similarly to eth0--which works), but that didn't help either.
I tried this on an open/unsecured network and got the same result.
I found a Red Hat thread that said /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd needs to list the interfaces for dhcpd (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … es-372977/). Is there something similar for arch?
thanks in advance for any help,
Kyle

Are you trying to connect to a network?
If so you might want:
dhcpcd wlan0
Otherwise it shuld work acording to the forum posts you have pointed out. I have my own dhcp server running on one of my setups with those instructions

I played around with it a bit more last night and I got it to work. For some reason, the subnets 129.168.0.x and 10.0.0.x didn't work and I needed to specify a subnet of 129.168.1.x. I noticed that eth0 was getting assigned an IP of 192.168.1.100, so I decided to include that in my subnet. I also restricted the range to 192.168.1.100-200.
Thanks for the help,
Kyle
