wep and dhclient [Archive]

08-04-2005, 03:53 AM

At home I have a wireless b/g network with wep enabled. After searching through google a bit the only thing I found was using:

ifconfig wi0 ssid <network id> wepkey <wepkey>

and then running dhclient. The problem is, when I run dhclient it sets the IP address to 0.0.0.0, whether I'm connected wired or with my wireless card....what can I do to fix this? Thanks.
