[Dnsmasq-discuss] no address range available for DHCP request via wlan0

[Brent S. Elmer, Ph.D.]

I don't think it is part of a bridge.  At least I didn't do anything to
make it part of a bridge yet.  No IP address is configured on wlan0.

Here is what ifconfig shows.

Here is what ifconfig wlan0 shows:
