dhcpcd: command not found

flashdog · #1 7th December 2006, 07:57 PM

Hello,
I don't know in wich rpm (FC5) is dhcpcd? I can use iwlist and iwconfig. If I use dhcpcd I get:

Code:

# dhcpcd
 -bash: dhcpcd: command not found

Have anyone a idea?

best regards

Looks like it is part of the wlassistant package....

# smart search dhcpcd

I have wlassistant.i386 installed, but I have the same problem

Code:

# smart search dhcpcd
bash: smart: command not found

What I made wrong?

That just means you don't have smart installed. It's a package manager like yum or apt-get.
Have you tried starting the dhcpcd service as root user?
From the command:
service dhcpcd status

If it isn't running, you could run the command:
service dhcpcd restart

You can make it start at each reboot with the command:
chkconfig --level 345 dhcpcd on

Code:

[root@localhost ~]# service dhcpcd status
dhcpcd: unrecognized service
[root@localhost ~]# service dhcpcd restart
dhcpcd: unrecognized service
[root@localhost ~]# service dhcpcd start
dhcpcd: unrecognized service

Code:

# rpm -qa | grep "wlassistant"
wlassistant-0.5.5-4.fc5

What I make wrong?
