Asus Eee & Vienna Airport Wifi problem

I have no clue what the admins of Vienna's (schwechat) airport wifi are using as DHCP server, but it seems to dislike an asus eee pc as client.

I got an IP address and /etc/resolv.conf contained the right DNS, but there were *no* routes configured.

Here's what must be done to use an eee at Vienna's airport:

Code: Select all

sudo route add -net 172.30.2.0/24 ath0
sudo route add default gw 172.30.2.254
I'll tell this asus as well as schwechat, since there's something fishy with either the dhcp client implementation or the server.
