| |
Hi,
I have a question about WLAN: how does Linux recognize that it has entered a 802.11 network? and how does it acquire an IP address via DHCP automatically?
I've successfully configured the DHCP server and the mobile host to work together. However I want to know the detailed procesures carried out, such as how scan/authentication/association is triggered, how dhclient is triggered?
My machine is a RH9 with kernel 2.4.26 or 2.6.7 (wireless extensions used), and the wireless adapter is Linksys WUSB11 v2.8 (driver from http://at76c503a.berlios.de/).
Any information'd be appreciated. suihong - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
