1) <span>edit /etc/init.d/dnsmasq to depend on net.wlan0 instead of just net
<br>2) </span><span>rc_depend_strict="NO" in /etc/rc.conf<br><br>Together these two changes fixed my problem. <br><br>Thank you,<br>Charles<br></span><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div></div>Is dnsmasq configured with the "bind-interfaces" flag. If so, remove<br>
that, or replace it with "bind-dynamic" if you have a new-enough dnsmasq.<br>
