Hi Pavel,
Thanks a lot for your answer. I successfully uninstalled the
compat-wireless package and no it is running properly. Anyway, I'm
experiencing a problem while configuring the box as a DHCP server. I
will tell you my problem, but if you consider this is not the place to
discuss such issue I will understand.
I configured dhcpd like this:
--> /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf:Jun 29 16:01:12 faye dhcpd: Wrote 0 leases
to leases file.
Jun 29 16:01:12 faye dhcpd:
Jun 29 16:01:12 faye dhcpd: No subnet declaration for wlan0 (0.0.0.0).
Jun 29 16:01:12 faye dhcpd: ** Ignoring requests on wlan0. If this is not what
Jun 29 16:01:12 faye dhcpd: you want, please write a subnet declaration
Jun 29 16:01:12 faye dhcpd: in your dhcpd.conf file for the network segment
Jun 29 16:01:12 faye dhcpd: to which interface wlan0 is attached. **
Jun 29 16:01:12 faye dhcpd:
Jun 29 16:01:12 faye dhcpd:
Jun 29 16:01:12 faye dhcpd: Not configured to listen on any interfaces!
ddns-update-style none;
option domain-name-servers 147.83.2.3, 147.83.2.10;
default-lease-time 86400;
max-lease-time 604800;
authoritative;
subnet 192.168.3.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.3.2 192.168.3.254;
option domain-name-servers 147.83.2.3,147.83.2.10;
option routers 192.168.3.1;
option broadcast-address 192.168.3.255;
default-lease-time 100000;
max-lease-time 100000;
}
--> /etc/default/dhcp3-server:
# Defaults for dhcp initscript
# sourced by /etc/init.d/dhcp
# installed at /etc/default/dhcp3-server by the maintainer scripts
#
# This is a POSIX shell fragment
#
# On what interfaces should the DHCP server (dhcpd) serve DHCP requests?
# Separate multiple interfaces with spaces, e.g. "eth0 eth1".
INTERFACES="wlan0"
AFAIK, I just need this to configure the DHCP server in my box. Next,
I should configure some NATting with iptables. However, when issuing
/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start I get this message:
faye:/home/dulceangustia# /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start
Starting DHCP server: dhcpd3check syslog for diagnostics. failed!
failed!
And in /var/log/syslog I see:
Jun 29 16:01:12 faye dhcpd: Wrote 0 leases to leases file.
Jun 29 16:01:12 faye dhcpd:
Jun 29 16:01:12 faye dhcpd: No subnet declaration for wlan0 (0.0.0.0).
Jun 29 16:01:12 faye dhcpd: ** Ignoring requests on wlan0. If this is not what
Jun 29 16:01:12 faye dhcpd: you want, please write a subnet declaration
Jun 29 16:01:12 faye dhcpd: in your dhcpd.conf file for the network segment
Jun 29 16:01:12 faye dhcpd: to which interface wlan0 is attached. **
Jun 29 16:01:12 faye dhcpd:
Jun 29 16:01:12 faye dhcpd:
Jun 29 16:01:12 faye dhcpd: Not configured to listen on any interfaces!
BTW, the leases file do exist as I 'touch'ed it.
I can't understand why it says that the dhcp server is not configured
to listen on any interfaces. Seems I'm missing some easy configuration
but after some time googling it seems that I should already have it
running.
Any idea on how to carry on configuring my AP?
Thanks for your time and sorry for the inconvenience,
Javi
