    wireless & dhcp problem

    Hi Friends,

    I've a problem with my wireless, and its getting me crazy !'@£
    here's my system info
    : HP nc6120
    2.6.15-1.1833_FC4
    ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.1.0

    if I setup wireless IF with static ip, everything is ok. I can connect immediately (w or w/o WEP / WPA).
    but if I try to connect with DHCP, dhclient cant get any ip address from the AP, I also tried dhcpcd with same result.
    the only error message in /var/log/messages is :
    ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready

    any idea how can I solve this problem ?

    have you tried setting your ssid with iwconfig before you run the dhcp client

    Is the WAP configured to assign DHCP?
    Check before saying yes, just humor us
