This is my ifcfg-wlan0 script

DEVICE=wlan0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=no
MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes
WIRELESS_MODE=Managed
WIRELESS_CHANNEL=6
WIRELESS_RATE=11M
WIRELESS_ENC_KEY=a1a2-a3a4-a5
WIRELESS_RTS=2347
WIRELESS_FRAG=2346
WIRELESS_ESSID=SANTIS50-3E6D0D

Obviusly 'ONBOOT=no' is for debug only; this is my own script for manualy up the interface

iwconfig wlan0 essid SANTIS50-3E6D0D channel 6 rate 11M rts 2347 mode Managed frag 2346 key a1a2-a3a4-a5
#ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.2 up netmask 255.255.255.248
ifconfig wlan0 up

and this is /etc/rc2.d

This evening i tried to start dhcpcd before ifconfig and it worked at the third attempt

I really don't know where

Thanks for answer,

now I'm at work, I remember the scripts but to show the exact sequence I have to came back home. :D

I'll post later

I spend some time to configure my Wireless Lan, and all seems to go well untill dhcp.

If I manulaly start interface..

[root@localhost francy]# ifup wlan0
Determining IP information for wlan0... failed.
[root@localhost francy]# /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd.exe: line 27: .: filename argument required
.: usage: . filename

Then I get up properly wlan0 whit iwconfig and then..

[root@localhost wireless]# dhcpcd wlan0
/etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd.exe: line 27: .: filename argument required
.: usage: . filename

I tried again with dhcpcd...

[root@localhost wireless]# dhcpcd wlan0
dhcpcd.exe: wrong interface name "wlan0"

Although the new error message, now all is working.

[root@localhost wireless]# ifconfig

Sometime I tried ten or more time before to work well

What can I do to solve this problem?

did you notice that i already mentioned that?

...too late

i spend much time looking for correct link

You could try CheckInstall

Your RPM will be usable with urpmi
