HI,
Normaly my wireless works fine (I have a FritzBOX wlan router). But sometimes, when connection, I get this:
dhcpcd: wlan0: reject NAK
The wlan still works for other computers ...
What could cause this problem?
I use the iwl3945 kernel driver for intel wlan card.
Thanks!

ive seen this too, this happened with a linksys wrt54g, there was no way to bring up the interface. forcing a static ip works. i always thought it was the router's fault.
rt73usb here.

No, it's not the router. I have the same problem occurring sporadically, but my wired PCs can get to the router and work fine. I have an MSI notebook and have rt2x00pci, rt2x00lib and rt61pci all in my MODULES line of the rc.conf file.
I don't remember when the problem started occurring, but it must have been at least several months ago.

I also noticed this recently and therefore commented out the following part of /etc/dhcpcd.conf a month or two ago.
# A ServerID is required by RFC2131.
# Some broken DHCP servers do not send one and dhcpcd can work without it.
# Some broken DHCP servers NAK incorrectly and do not include a ServerID
# either so the default is to require a ServerID.
require dhcp_server_identifier

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try. Since the problem only occurs sporadically, I won't know for a while whether the suggestion solves the problem or not ...
But thanks for the reply!

I had the same problem and commenting the given line in /eth/dhcpcd.conf solved it, so i will see, if any other problems occur.

I have commented the line out for a while now and no problem so far, so seems good ...

This week I noticed this problem when connecting through a gateway machine which has not been modified in months. However, at another location I wasn't having this problem. Thus, I suspect last week's kernel upgrades are responsible (for pointing out a flaw in a BSD's dhcpd configuration?). Commenting the 'require dhcp_server_identifier' solved it.

Works for me too. Thanks xduugu!
