Hello

I'm running a new install of ClearOS 7.2.0 Community.

I have a really basic hostapd configuration, I'm able to join the wireless network from my laptop - but I never get a DHCP lease on wireless.

Here's what DHCP packets I see when connecting first to the LAN ethernet port, then to wireless

[root@clarity ~]# tcpdump -i ens1 "port 67 or port 68"

tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode

listening on ens1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes

This suggests to me that hostapd is set up alright, but that the DHCP server isn't listening, or else isn't able to respond, on the bridge interface.

In the GUI, the DHCP server looks to be set up the same for the bridge interface br0 and the ethernet interface ens1 (all default, I didn't change anything), and /etc/dnsmasq.d/dhcp.conf is:

[dhcp-option=br0,1,255.255.255.0

dhcp-option=br0,28,192.168.8.255

dhcp-option=br0,3,192.168.8.1

dhcp-option=br0,6,192.168.8.1

dhcp-option=ens1,1,255.255.255.0

dhcp-option=ens1,28,192.168.7.255

dhcp-option=ens1,3,192.168.7.1

dhcp-option=ens1,6,192.168.7.1

dhcp-range=br0,192.168.8.100,192.168.8.254,24h

dhcp-range=ens1,192.168.7.100,192.168.7.254,24h

read-ethers

My hostapd.conf looks like:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd

ctrl_interface_group=wheel



# Some usable default settings...

macaddr_acl=0

auth_algs=1

ignore_broadcast_ssid=0



# Uncomment these for base WPA & WPA2 support with a pre-shared key

wpa=2

wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK

#wpa_pairwise=TKIP

rsn_pairwise=CCMP



bridge=br0



# DO NOT FORGET TO SET A WPA PASSPHRASE!!

wpa_passphrase=(a passphrase)



# Most modern wireless drivers in the kernel need driver=nl80211

driver=nl80211



# Customize these for your local configuration...

interface=wlp0s29f7u6

hw_mode=g

channel=6

ssid=(an ssid)

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0 is

DEVICE="br0"

BOOTPROTO="static"

ONBOOT="yes"

TYPE="Bridge"

IPADDR="192.168.8.1"

NETMASK="255.255.255.0"

Thanks very much for any advice you can offer
