[Solved] knockd and wlan0 interface

Hello to everyone!

I'd like to strengthen the remote connection to my laptop using ssh and, as you can see from the subject of my topic, knockd.
The problem I'm facing is very, very simple: I've already set up the daemon specifying the knock sequence, in the /etc/knockd.conf file, adding then the knockd daemon to the /etc/rc.conf file.
The problem is that, when I launch knockd I get the following error message:

[root@mody ~]# /etc/rc.d/knockd start...could not get IP address for eth0

How can I tell knockd to use the wlan0 interface rather than eth0?
Other distributions have a file, /etc/conf.d/knockd, or something like that, but I've found nothing similar in Arch.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Burroughs.

Add

interface = wlan0

to the options section in /etc/knockd.conf.
