Static ip with wpa_supplicant

[elmar283]

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:

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.

Did you also try

Code: Select all

config_Earth

instead of

Code: Select all

config_Earth_eth1

?

Works for me ...

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!

[swimmer]

Glad I could help Doesn't happen that often

[majoron]

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.
