dnsmasq DHCP options

[snbJules]

I used to use the isc dhcp server on a Linux box and was able to assign the same IP to two different mac addresses so that RDP, SSH, etc would work seamlessly when I switched my laptop between wired & wireless networks.

I've done some digging on the dnsmasq options and I THINK this should do what I need:

dhcp-host=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx,yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy,192.168.1.40.

I've created a dnsmasq.postconf script to append that line onto /etc/dnsmasq.conf and I see it in the .conf file after the router's booted.

My machine takes the right address on the wired mac, but not on the wifi.

Can anyone shed some light on making this work? or on replacing dnsmasq with isc dhcp on the router?

I have a similar setup but use dnsmasq.conf.add instead.

dhcp-host=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx,yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy,HostName,10.10.10.2

Thank you!

I had tried a .add file before with the same results as the postconf, but adding the hostname fixed it.
