hi all,
in using ath5k instead of madwifi i'm not able to use dhcp anymore. The 
authentification with wpa_supplicant works, association as well. Setting  
interface ip, routes and resolver manually enables wlan networking too (as you 
can see). Anyone having an idea why dhcp refuses to work?

configuration:
Linux 2.6.30-gentoo-r6 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1600MHz 
GenuineIntel GNU/Linux on stable x86 (no ~x86)
wpa_supplicant 0.6.9

call order: 
> wpa_supplicant -D wext -iwlan2 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf 
CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS 
Trying to associate with 00:15:0c:85:f2:b0 (SSID='looney tunes' freq=2447 MHz)

etc pp.
just searched in mailing list archive and the net, but only found an old ticket 
of madwifi project
http://madwifi-project.org/ticket/1542

wireshark presents dhcp discovers, but there never is any response. dhcp host 
is my dsl box. dhcp host is presumed to be working, at least the inet radio box 
or using old madwifi driver present no problems. 

if there's no known issue, i had to enable debugging of relevant modules 
(mac80211, ath5k) too. but don't want to file a bug report before having asked 
some experts. thanks in advance.
nevertheless, great work,
Jörg
