[Bug 139812] Re: knetworkmanager can't acquire dhcp address on wep network

[scoobymad555]

hmmm .... seem to be having the same problem on a customer site of mine too ..... they're running eepc's with xandros though?!
using dhclient for the dhcp and iface for managing the hardware interface. >From checking the logs, iface does kill existing pid files here but i still seem to get the problem.

running an onboard atheros wireless card connecting to a buffallo access
point with wep

I'm seeing exactly the same log entries as above.

One thing i did stumble across was ...... connect the device to the
network via a hard-wired connection first so it collects an address then
disconnect it and try the wireless connection. It picks up a different
address as you'd expect but seems to then connect fine with the couple
of machines i've tried here.

I'm no debugger by any means but it seems to be a definite issue with
the dhcp acknowledgement or a handshake problem through the encryption
maybe?

Perhaps this is a slightly more widespread issue than first thought
given that i'm seeing it with xandros? I also run my laptop on ubuntu
hardy with an intel pro and i think i'm getting the same problem on that
aswell but to be fair, my builds not exactly stable so take that bit
with a pinch of salt :)
