RE: [Madwifi-users] DHCP, dhcp

[John B. <jby...@ya...>]

It's unlikely that if you can set the IP address and access the network that
you're having association problems.  If your connection is weak though (i.e.
your connection to the AP gets dropped with the IP address setup) DHCP could
have failed during its initialization process.
