it looks like that error only occurs on openwrt with gargoyle patches because i just flashed back to gargoyle and those messages arent comming up when i use logread.
daemon DHCP SERVER: DHCPDISCOVER from [computer requesting ip's MAC] via [gargoyle IP]
daemon DHCP SERVER: DHCP offer to [computer requesting ip's MAC]
daemon DHCP SERVER: Exiting as another DHCP server is found
So for some reason the main router thinks the gargoyle router is the dhcp and shuts down when a device asks for an ip address. The weird thing is that i've fully disabled dnsmasq in gargoyle so i have no idea why the main router thinks its a dhcp.
I have the same situation. I am using the bridge thou I am using it as a client. I connect sucesfully via cable via ethernet but I do not receive dhcp requests. How did you solve this? can you explain?
