Any way to remove the static IP requirement? #77

Sometimes if I'm traveling with my rpi I don't always have a network setup with me (router, switch, etc. at a hotel)

Is the requirement for a static IP still there after the initial install?
Is there any workaround for the static IP requirement to get it working with DHCP?
What needs to be changed to have this working, if possible at all?

Hi, i did that once, a proxmox install on a notebook, here you have the same issue with eth0 + wlan0 running with dhcp and vmbr0 with the static ip. The only issue i saw/see is that you never know what ip config you get from outside, so you may have a conflict. e.g. eth0+wlan0 on dhcp, vmbr0 with 192.168.101.1/24 fine as long as you do not get a 192.168.101.0/24 from your dhcpd.

Thanks for the write-up, I just haven't had a chance yet to play with this but thank you for taking the time. Will report back if/when I get to play with pimox again.

I would second the point about knowing what IP you are connecting to. Also, be aware that if using some hotel/maccy d's wifis, you may not be able to talk to your PI from your laptop/tablet - ie the APs may practice client isolation.

There are projects that convert a Pi into a personal hotel hotspot, can't remember any off hand right now.
