 Posted: Wed Aug 17, 2011 11:26 am Post subject: Static ip with wpa_supplicant |
 |
|
I'm trying to get a static ip-address with wpa_supplicant. I used to have this, but somehow it is not working anymore. I can't findout what the reason is.
I have set up my computer up as a router.
eth0
Is the insite network:
address 192.168.0.1 uses a static ip-address
eht1
Is my outsite netork. It used to have a static addres, now it's only working with dhcpcd.
address 192.168.178.28 now uses dhcp.
If it might not be possible to have a static addres with wpa_supplicant I would like that /etc/resolv.conf isn't alterted.
I tried to do this by setting dhcp_eth1="nodns" but it didn't work.
Can anyone tell me how to make wpa_supplicant work with a static addres or option B to make nodns possible?
I will post some config files here:
| Code: |
elmarotter@masterserver ~ $ cat /etc/conf.d/net
# This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
# scripts in /etc/init.d. To create a more complete configuration,
# please review /usr/share/doc/openrc/net.example and save your configuration
# in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).
dns_domain_lo="eotter1979.xs4all.nl"
config_eth0="192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.0.255"
#routes_eth0="default via 192.168.0.1"
dns_servers_eth0="192.168.0.1"
associate_timeout_eth0=60
gateways_eth1="192.168.178.1"
modules="wpa_supplicant"
wpa_supplicant_eth1="-Dwext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf"
wpa_timeout_eth1=60
associate_timeout_eth1=60
config_Earth_eth1="192.168.178.28 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.178.255"
dns_servers_Earth_eth1="192.168.0.1"
routes_Earth_eth1="default via 192.168.0.1"
dhcp_Earth_eth1="release nodns"
#config_routes_eth1="192.168.178.28/24 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.178.255"
#dns_servers_routes_eth1="192.168.0.1"
#routes_routes_eth1="default via 192.168.0.1"
fallback_eth1="dhcp"
iwconfig_eth1="mode managed"

I've been doing this for ages. The only config needed for this is in /etc/conf.d/net.
You seem to have eth0 and eth1. Which is your WiFi interface? I think eth1 but your description is a bit confused.
In wpa_supplicant you set keys etc but the IP address (DHCP) is only set in conf.d/net
Cheers

eth1 is my wifi.
I tried static ip in /etc/conf.d/net
But I do not get an ip when I try that. And I don't want to use DHCP. |

This is a follow-up from: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-890978.html
I can't seem to reply to that forum thread anymore. Sorry if this is not the way to do this.
config_Earth did not work.
swimmer: could you send me your config of /etc/conf.d/net and /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf?

swimmer: thank you, sir!
That example of yours helped to fix same issue in my environments. Indeed, it is documented in the example file, but I did not think it must be followed exactly. You simply showed us path! |

Thank you too, swimmer. I was trying to get a solution for the same problem, and somehow I managed to skip the instrucctions in "net.example" until now.
