Static IP address works on Ethernet but not Wireless
Hi all,
I have literally spent all day trying dozens of different combinations, re-installs and tweaks to try and resolve this problem. I would be EXTREMELY grateful if anyone can help/point me in the right direction.
I am using OpenBSD 4.6 and am trying to connect to my wireless network with a static IP address and router combination (DHCP works fine with both the wireless card and router when it is set up. I am using static IPs as my SOHO Belkin router cannot handle more than about 3 DHCP connections without re-issuing duplicate IP addresses).
In /etc/hostname.bge0 (my Ethernet connection) I have:
...which works fine:
I then turn bge0 off, and get bwi0 (my wireless interface) on:
Yet to my dismay, the following happens:
Now in /etc/resolv.conf I have:
and this works perfectly fine when I connect with the Ethernet cable (when /etc/resolv.conf is a blank file the Ethernet fails). However I am totally confused as to why it would fail with a wireless interface. Ifconfig appears to 'prove' that both connections to the router are successful yet only the Ethernet connection (bge0) works.
I would be really greatful if someone could point out where I've gone wrong and give my a helpful nudge in the right direction. Thanks in advance for any help/tips/pointers

Hi all,
I would need to register a random free subdomain address and associate that to my IP Address. Any suggestion of a good service?
Also I don't have a static IP but i remember that there are services that automatically reset the right IP address behind the subdomain but i don't remember... (1 Reply)
Hi All,
Could you please explain the purpose of assigning the static IP by using the DHCP Concept. Like by using the clients MAC address we assign the static IP Address. Waiting for your reply. Thanks in Advance. (6 Replies)
Hi,
How do I get ethernet (mac) address of all the interfaces (including the unplumbed interfaces) ? I do not want to use ifconfig -a plumb and unplumb. Looking for some other ways. Even c program will help.
