Re: dhclient not working, wireless?

Hi,

let me give some more information.

When I run on the wired ethernet "wm0", netstat shows:

Destination        Gateway            Flags    Refs      Use Mtu Interface
default            192.168.1.254      UGS         -        - -  wm0
127/8              localhost          UGRS        -        - 33192  lo0
localhost          localhost          UH          -        - 33192  lo0
192.168.1/24       link#1             UC          -        - -  wm0

after executing this, my routing table is "clean":
Destination        Gateway            Flags    Refs      Use    Mtu 
Interface
127/8              localhost          UGRS        -        -  33192 lo0
localhost          localhost          UH          -        -  33192 lo0

> sudo ifconfig iwi0 ssid xxxxxxxxxx
> sudo ifconfig iwi0 nwkey yyyyyyyyyyyyyy
> sudo dhclient -v iwi0

This shows:
DHCPREQUEST on iwi0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPACK from 192.168.1.254
bound to 192.168.1.154 -- renewal in 116736 seconds

I can assume thus that the wireless card is working and communicated to 
the router and got an address, I'd say it is not a hardware problem, right?

I can ping 192.168.1.254, but

grid$ ping www.netbsd.org
ping: Cannot resolve "www.netbsd.org" (Host name lookup failure)

However netstat:
Destination        Gateway            Flags    Refs      Use    Mtu 
Interface
default            192.168.1.254      UGS         -        -      -L wm0
127/8              localhost          UGRS        -        -  33192L lo0
localhost          localhost          UH          -        -  33192L lo0
192.168.1/24       link#2             UC          -        -      -L iwi0
192.168.1.154      localhost          UGHS        -        -  33192L lo0
192.168.1.254      link#2             UHLc        -        -      -L iwi0

Why is the default route on wm0? I did run dhclient on iwi0!

Or is there another problem?
