Issues with DHCP and wireless

Hi to everyone:

I have one computer with this wireless nic:

[habarrera@itilmanpc ~]$ lspci | grep Network
10:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)

I have modules loaded:

[habarrera@itilmanpc ~]$ lsmod | grep iwl3945
iwl3945                89244  0
iwlcore               107388  1 iwl3945
mac80211              155788  2 iwl3945,iwlcore
led_class               4000  2 iwl3945,iwlcore
cfg80211               90364  3 iwl3945,iwlcore,mac80211

But when I'm trying to get one IP (with DHCP) and doesn't work:

[root@itilmanpc ~]# dhcpcd wlan0
dhcpcd: version 5.1.3 starting
dhcpcd: wlan0: waiting for carrier
dhcpcd: timed out

Someone else with the same problem ... anyone knows how to fix it? neutral

Re: Issues with DHCP and wireless

two rather silly thoughts:
first thing, are you sure that the network is ok? I have exactly the same problem sometimes, and in my case it's the network fault.

second, try dhclient, it seems to work better that dhcpcd, at least for me

Re: Issues with DHCP and wireless

Are you using the right connection/encryption settings for the network (ifconfig, iwconfig, wpa, etc.) before you use dhcpcd?
