Raw message 

Hi, I'm experiencing the same issues!

I'm all new to GRASE and it's my first try with captive portal, aaa and so 
on!
First I Installed ubuntu server 12.04.1 with grase stable build and 
everything works fine with dhcp captive portal etc. but after a restart, I 
can't get any ip address from dnsmasq dhcp server..

Installed 14.04.1 with grase nightly builds (love the new captive portal 
layout, especially on mobile) everything went fine, got ip adress, captive 
portal login everything working great..
doing a reboot, no more dhcp :(

looked into .conf files, everything seems OK, my interfaces are even 
default with eth0 as WAN and eth1 as LAN side, but something breaks on 
first reboot, can't get a hold of it :(
tried everything with a dd-wrt router (everything configures to act only as 
a switch) on LAN side, serving a Wifi network but also with laptop attached 
directly to eth1 (both ways worked perfect right after install, but after 
reboot it doesn't)

Network cards are old ones I found, Realtek 100mbps RTL-8100/8101L/8139 PCI 
Fast Ethernet Adapter (rev 10)
could these be an issue?
are there alternate drivers than the one ubuntu installed automatically!?


Would be great if anyone had any idea what could be causing this!


On a side note:
Thanks Tim for all your hard work! GRASE seems to be THE hotspot solution 
in the future!
I will definitely do a donation once I got everything working :)


thanks & best regards,
Laurenz
