IPv6 Wireless Problems

[Brian Matsik]

The card is not using WEP (for the moment) and I do get an automatic
ESSID assigned from a local open router.  I am using an ipw2100 card
(which is listed as supported - or so it seems).

It cannot get a DHCP address no matter what I do.  If I connect via
windows it works just fine - so I know the router is running.  I
beleive even Knoppix can get out, but I have used so many live CDs in
the last week it is starting to hurt :)

Any advice?
