WiFi clients can connect, but aren't offered an IP address

I've built and flashed an image to my sama5d27-wlsom1-ek-sd, and note that the Start_AP.sh script attempts to start up DHCP, but can't because it isn't there... should the sama5d27-wlsom1-ek-sd layer include DHCP, perhaps as a dependency of this recipe?

Hi @huntc,
Could you please confirm which build-system based image you are using. Just FYI, in Yocto Project based image for sama5d27-wlsom1-ek-sd support for Start_AP.sh is yet to be added one has to follow the steps manually mentioned here https://www.linux4sam.org/bin/view/Linux4SAM/WilcFaq, whereas in Buildrooot based image it is there.

Thanks for replying. We’ve since moved on to build root and have an image that now works for us. I’ll close out this issue.
