Asus Eee & Vienna Airport Wifi problem

Post by ^rooker »

I have no clue what the admins of Vienna's (schwechat) airport wifi are using as DHCP server, but it seems to dislike an asus eee pc as client.

I got an IP address and /etc/resolv.conf contained the right DNS, but there were *no* routes configured.

Here's what must be done to use an eee at Vienna's airport:

Code: Select all

sudo route add -net 172.30.2.0/24 ath0
sudo route add default gw 172.30.2.254
I'll tell this asus as well as schwechat, since there's something fishy with either the dhcp client implementation or the server.
Jumping out of an airplane is not a basic instinct. Neither is breathing underwater. But put the two together and you're traveling through space!
