Hi all,
I am using ndiswrapper for a wireless card and I am having some
weird problems with it. Every once in a while the connection just
stops and it gives no sign or reason why. when I try to reconnect
through various methods I get this error "Determining IP information
for wlan0..... No connection found, check cable?" so I tried
'dhclient wlan0' and this is the result that I get(well part of it)
Listening on LPF/wlan0/00:90:4b:cd:e5:d6
Sending on LPF/wlan0/00:90:4b:cd:e5:d6
Can't bind to dhcp address: Address already in use
Please make sure there is no other dhcp server
running and that there's no entry for dhcp or
bootp in /etc/inetd.conf. Also make sure you
are not running HP JetAdmin software, which
includes a bootp server.
What does this mean? I am a noob so I am just confused as to what
DHCP is, if I need it, etc. I have no idea how to reconnect the wlan0
after it just stops without rebooting the computer. I have tried
several methods and none work. I am running FC3, newest kernel,
ndiswrapper 1.1(anymore info can be provided). Thanks,
Charles
