Re: wifi problem on Suse9

I have a similar problem too... You can just re-query the DHCP server and that
typically fixes the problem..

as root...

rm /var/ru    n/dhcpcd-eth0.pid (yours may be eth1 or something)
dhcpcd eth0

That works for me...

if there is no pid file then just dhcpcd eth# and you are off..

Good Luck
