[Bridge] Fixed module loading problem, but can't run dhcp
I fixed the problem with loading the bridge module. I tried doing make clean and remaking the kernel, but that didn't help, so I did make mrproper and that fixed it. Now I've got my wireless and wired networks bridged but I can't get dhcp to start for my wireless network. Here are the commands I run to get the bridged network up: ifconfig eth0 down modprobe bridge modprobe hostap_pci iwconfig wlan0 essid SNL brctl addbr br0 brctl addif br0 eth0 brctl addif br0 wlan0 ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 ifconfig wlan0 0.0.0.0 ifconfig br0 192.168.1.1 up I have this in my dhcpd.conf: subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { ddns-updates on; range 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.164; } But when I try and start dhcpd I get these messages: Feb 13 18:42:58 brian dhcpd: Wrote 0 leases to leases file. Feb 13 18:42:58 brian dhcpd: Feb 13 18:42:58 brian dhcpd: No subnet declaration for wlan0 (0.0.0.0). Feb 13 18:42:58 brian dhcpd: ** Ignoring requests on wlan0. If this is not what Feb 13 18:42:58 brian dhcpd: you want, please write a subnet declaration Feb 13 18:42:58 brian dhcpd: in your dhcpd.conf file for the network segment Feb 13 18:42:58 brian dhcpd: to which interface wlan0 is attached. ** Feb 13 18:42:58 brian dhcpd: Feb 13 18:42:58 brian dhcpd: Feb 13 18:42:58 brian dhcpd: Not configured to listen on any interfaces! I even put in 0.0.0.0 in the network segment instead of 192.168.1.0, but that didn't result in anything different. I've been using Linux for nearly 9 years but have never used dhcp. This has got me stumped. Can anyone give me some advice?
