For some reason, KDE has this problem that when I try to make hotspot from settings, it doesnt have any password. I also tried with Wi hotspot, but it doesnt work properly.
I can get the password to set up, it is under the wifi security tab. The part I can’t get to work is DHCP, I have to manually assign addresses to the clients.
In the above image, the DHCP client is your desktop/laptop device with EnOS installed.
The DHCP server in most home situations is your Router.
When one boots up their EnOS device, the following four steps take place.
Your EnOS device sends out a DHCP Discover requesting a IP address
The router then sends back DHCP Offer listing available IP addresses
Your EnOS sends back a DHCP Request for a specific available IP address
The router sends back a DHCP Acknowledgement
In most common setups, the ArchLinux install includes as part of the installation,
dhclient
If you do a pacman -Q dhclient it should be there
pacman -Q dhclient
dhclient 4.4.3.P1-1
So from the get go, your EnOS install will use dhclient for requesting a IP Address.
The DHCP server is built into the router.
The dhcp package is only installed if you want your EnOS personal install to become a DHCP server. This doesn’t happen very often. Hence it is not installed by default.
