strange behaviour - dhclient needs to be run twice in order to connect to wireless
- by splicer
I am trying to connect my to my wlan without the use of NetworkManager. I run the following commands after boot:
iwconfig wlan0 enc <WEP passwd> mode managed essid <name> channel 6
ifconfig wlan0 up
dhclient wlan0
At this point, dhclient stalls for ages (perhaps 2 minutes), then it returns with
PING 192.168.1.254 (192.168.1.254)…
