dhcpcd-discuss

Hi Roy,

Thanks for your quick response!

Unfortunately it did not solve the issue but made it worse. Now I am facing
continuous connectivity aborts.

Same error message:

Feb 18 16:19:16 thinkpad dhcpcd[12509]: dhcpcd not running
Feb 18 16:19:16 thinkpad dhcpcd[12529]: dhcpcd not running
Feb 18 16:19:24 thinkpad dhcpcd[12549]: wls1: ipv6nd_sendrsprobe: sendmsg:
Cannot assign requested address

iwconfig:

wls1      IEEE 802.11abgn  ESSID:off/any
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated
          Tx-Power=15 dBm
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:on

My dhcpcd.conf: http://pastebin.com/h8mSshs1

Any idea what is going wrong here?

Thanks!

Robert
