dhclient not working

[Thorsten Kolb]

Hi,
I try now for several days to get dhclient running under my linux-box.
I use Slackware-11.0 (kernel 2.6.19.1) and want my intel-wlan card to be 
connected to a linksys-wrt54gs router.
The router works and I can connect with a static ip-adress or a dynamic-ip 
with dhcpcd (the other dhcpclient under linux.) So it should have nothing to 
to with my drivers or the router.

But everytime I try to start dhclient (tried version 3.0.3, 3.0.4 and 3.0.5) I 
get the following:


root at thinkpadomat:/home/simon# dhclient eth1
Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.0.4

Listening on Socket/eth1
Sending on   Socket/eth1
DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8
DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 15
DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 17
DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 10
DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 11
No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.


I searched through google and some linux-forums. I found a couple of people 
which have similar problems, but no one was able to solve it (or I just was 
not able to find the right thread)

I need dhclient, because it is required for another programm which is 
important for me. So it would be very nice If some one of you can help me!

thanks in advance 
Thorsten
