I will try to collect a better tcpdump of the dhclient packets on the
weekend and as well figure out what kind of model the AP is;

would it be helpful to connect with a Windows XP laptop (which seems to
work) to gather some information of the Wifi and other network
parameters? how this could be seen in Windows? maybe there is some
special compression of the payload of the packages in place?

I have seen such 'options' in another AP (a Netgear WGT624 v3),
the option was called "[ ] Disable Advanced 108Mbps Features"
and this must be checked (i.e. disabled) to make DHCP happy with
the ath0 EeePC;

unfortunately I can't look into the AP about this problem is :-(

thx
