As clients connect the logs light up with DHCPDISCOVER(wlan0) and DHCPOFFER(wlan0) but the IPs being offered are not being accepted. Currently dnsmasq offers IPs on eth1 which works flawlessly. It seems to be just wlan0 that poses this problem for me today.

ifconfig of wlan0:

wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa
inet addr:10.0.0.2  Bcast:10.255.255.255  Mask:255.0.0.0
