Have to run "ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.1" to get ip.

[ladrua]

Hello, first post.
I have set up my rasp to act as a wireless access point with hostapd and dnsmasq.

I can see my network, but cant connect.. timeout without getting ip.

I see from my "ifconfig" that Im not getting a IP for my wlan0.

So, if I run "ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.1" and try to reconnect.. everything works. dnsmasq gives out an Ip in the range I gave it.

My question is.. what must I do to not have to run "ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.1" at every boot? There must be someplace I can set this value?

Thanks.

Check the upstream Arch wiki for setting a static IP with systemd

Thanks for the reply.

I have done that now.. and I ran "systemctl enable network.service" and rebooted.

But it wont give wlan0 an ip until i run "systemctl start network.service", even though I ran the systemctl enable network.service command before reboot..

EDIT:
After running "systemctl enable network.service" and reboot...

And after I run "systemctl start network.service"

Don't use network.service, use netcfg.service and of course hostapd.service
Edit /etc/conf.d/netcfg and put file names of both interfaces in NETWORK line

If after all that it still needs command run (I doubt it) then look up how to use postup in /etc/network.d/wlanfile

Thanks, that, and a little help form this forum posthttps://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=136332 did the trick. Now I have Airplay in my 1969 Beetle. Thanks!

Awesome. I want pics.

Had a little power issue, its a 6v beetle.. But I think I sorted it now with a 5v regulator. Will take some pictures tomorrow and post!
