Looks like dhclient is trying to configure wifi0, which doesn't exist.

 

What if you configure your wireless connection with iwconfig

ex:

iwconfig ath0 essid MyESSID key 1234567890

(adding any other options needed)

 

then run

dhcpcd ath0

 

You can also try setting up the wireless configuration in gentoo

for /etc/conf.d/net or wireless and startup the network with /etc/init.d/net.ath0

 

Here's a wiki explaining part of that process...

Hi
My t42 has the madwifi driver and sees ath0.  But when I run 'dhclient
ath0"



wifi0:unknown hardware address type 801
and
can't bind to dhcp address already in use.
How may I fix this?
