    Need wifi help with Window Maker

    I want to use window maker as my main wm but I can't get my wifi to work in it. When I try sudo dhclient wlan0 to connect via dhcp, i get this in the terminal:
    Code:
    twitch@twitch-laptop ~ $ sudo dhclient wlan0
    [sudo] password for twitch:

    No DHCPOFFERS received.
    No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
     * Reloading /etc/samba/smb.conf smbd only
       ...done.
    I can't connect to any networks, regardless whether or not they're protected.
    What should I do? I hate having to boot into gnome every time I want to access the internet.

    Towards the bottom of this link: http://www.nabble.com/Windowmaker-an...d21703297.html there seems to be a solution for you.

    I equivocate, therefore I might be.
