I'm using a wlan card based on the ralink rt2500 chipset on my notebook. Installing the drivers has gone through well enough, but I'm not managing to use dhcp to receive and ip-address.
I get my wlan card to start up and connect to the accesspoint, but don't get an ipaddress. Some people advised to type in dhcpcd, but it does'nt work with me:
#dhcpcd ra0
bash: dhcpcd: command not found
#iconfig ra0 dhcp // or "dhcp"
dhcp: Host name lookup failure
#ifup ra0
/sbin/ifup: configuration for ra0 not found
my modem at home supports NAT, so I put it on and tested assigning an ipaddress "manually"
#ifconfig ra0 192.168.0.100
I receive the ip-address, and I can ping my router (or open up the settings page with the ip-address). If I try to ping anything outside my home network either by name or ip-address I get:
connect: network is unreachable
The ethernet connection on the notebook works fine without any problems. I would really like to get the wlan to work via dhcp, not assigning the ip-address by hand (even if that could somehow be done). I use my notebook regularly on 4 wlan-accesspoints and only the one at home uses NAT, the rest give me a public ip-address via dhcp.
