I've spent the past few days trying to get a wireless LAN working off my
OpenBSD gateway. There's a few interfaces in there, and I just moved to a
house that uses WiFi a fair bit. I thought I'd do the bridging right on the
gateway, so there's one less device running.
After a spate of other troubles, I've gotten most of it working. Part of
that included upgrading to a -current as of this morning, from 3.7. I'm
still having two ongoing problems, though:
1) DHCP. The DHCP server is running, and the logs show it handing out
addresses. But the remote machine never gets the address. If I shift over
to static addressing, it all Just Works. Note that this could be
coincidence, because...
2) I have random periods where the WLAN just flat-out doesn't work. Like
right now. When I try to ping out on ral0, this is what I get (note that
192.168.132.50 is a statically-assigned machine that is most definitely on
the network):
# ifconfig ral0

#
I did a few quick Google searches, but came up with nothing. Can anyone
shed any light on this? All other interfaces seem to be working just
peachy, so this seems to be a ral(4)-specific issue and not a general
networking (i.e. buffer space) issue.
