wifi fails to connect - no DHCP4 address Sep 17th 2012, 08:49 This is a continuation of thread http://forums.opensuse.org/english/g...ml#post2486770 The original problem appears to be solved in that dmesg shows that association and authentication now holds. ifstatus wlan0 also shows this to be the case: wlan0 name: 802.11n WLAN Adapter DHCP4 client (dhcpcd) is running . . . but is still waiting for data DHCP6 client (dhclient6) is running . . . but is still waiting for data 3: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 00:1f:1f:e4:4f:66 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet6 fe80::21f:1fff:fee4:4f66/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever wlan0 is up bssid=00:81:d8:42:1e:9a ssid=BTHub3-TZM5 id=0 mode=station pairwise_cipher=CCMP group_cipher=TKIP key_mgmt=WPA2-PSK wpa_state=COMPLETED However, there is still no internet connection and ifconfig wlan0 produces: wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1F:1F:E4:4F:66 inet6 addr: fe80::21f:1fff:fee4:4f66/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:34 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:306 (306.0 b) TX bytes:8986 (8.7 Kb) As I understand it, there should be a line inet addr:, which indicates to me that DHCP has not done what I expected it to although there is an inet6 addr: line. As far as I can see from YAST there is nothing wrong with my DHCP settings. I may be barking up the wrong tree - can anyone help? Are there other tests/commands I should run to shed light on this?
