Can you setup Wifi with a static ip address?

Hello all,

I have been trying to setup wifi in the latest coreplus to work with a static ip address?

I have tried everything (all the different scripts for bootlocal.sh etc.) I can find and udhcpc still runs.

Been at this for a couple of days now, I'm sure I am missing something really simple.

Can anyone help or point me in the right direction, is anyone else using tiny core with wifi and a static ip address?

gerald_clark:
Boot with the nodhcp option.
Then you can ifconfig a static address.

I've tried that and udhcpc always runs, I've tried so many different things now that I'm sure I'm missing something right in front of me.

Can you please detail how exactly you would go about it.

tinypoodle:
udhcpc is not expected to run automatically with boot code "nodhcp".
I suggest you boot with "nodhcp norestore" to exclude you have any scripts laying around somewhere and try to set an IP manually.

--- Code: ---sudo ifconfig interface address
--- End code ---

Hi Trace:
Is your TCL system hooked via WIFI to a router which is set up using  DHCP?
If yes, this router assigns an IP address to your system. If you have a static IP address on your system the router can not see it.

I think - but I am not sure - First set up your TCL system using DHCP (automatic address assignment) then check which IP your system has been assigned  to. (using ifconfig)  It will be an address inside the routers address range. Make a note of it and assign this address as a static address to your TCL system. Then check if the  router still sees your system. Please let me know if it worked.
