Hello, When connecting Windows (XP/Vista) wireless clients to a hostapd AP using the ath9k driver, DHCP offers do not succeed. When setting the network interface settings on the client to use a static configuration connectivity succeeds and client networking through the AP functions well. A high-level layout of my network is as follows: - Linux router running hostapd: 192.168.8.1 - Windows Server 2003 DC running DHCP: 192.168.8.20 - Windows XP/Vista clients Following are details of the router running hostapd: - Bridge interface: br0 - Interfaces attached to the bridge: wlan0, eth1 - Bridge IP: 192.168.8.1 DHCP is working and the bridge functions: I have confirmed this by successfully obtaining a DHCP lease via the notebook's LAN port. I am using the following software versions: - hostapd 0.6.9 - FC10(2.6.29.1-15.fc10.i686) - ath9k Following are the contents of my hostapd.conf file: bridge=br0 interface=wlan0 driver=nl80211 ssid=myessid hw_mode=g channel=6 eapol_version=1 logger_syslog=-1 logger_syslog_level=2 logger_stdout=-1 logger_stdout_level=2 ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd ctrl_interface_group=0 macaddr_acl=0 deny_mac_file=/etc/hostapd.deny auth_algs=3 eapol_key_index_workaround=0 eap_server=0 dump_file=/tmp/hostapd.dump wpa=3 wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP wpa_psk=********* ieee8021x=0 Is there a setting that must be added to allow DHCP to pass through the bridge. UDP works fine through the bridge, as the client can see the Windows domain and can broadcast for clients on the domain (when connected via a static IP or via a physical LAN cable).
Can you please try wireless-testing
Hello, I upgraded my Kernel to 2.6.29.2-52.fc10.i686 and installed an AR5416 card and DHCP now passes through fine. Thanks -JD
Thanks, John can this be closed
