acquireing IP address via DHCP

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I have a question, how does Linux recognize that it has entered a 802.11
network? and how does it acquire an IP address via DHCP automatically?

I've successfully configured the DHCP server and the mobile host work
together, however I want to figure out the detailed procesures carried
out, such as how scan/authentication/association is triggered, how
dhclient is triggered?

My machine is a RH9 with kernel 2.4.26 or 2.6.7, the wireless adapter is
Linksys WUSB11 v2.8 (driver from http://at76c503a.berlios.de/).

Any information'd be appreciated.
