Are you positive that the DHCP function of your AP works perfectly? I am asking thing because I have come across a couple of routers which happily routes packets to static IPs but messes everything up as soon as it is asked to handle DHCP. Also I strongly feel something fishy in the WLAN interface being detected as ndisX instead of wiX. The first thing I would do is use the default driver *even* if some documentation says that it is buggy. Regards, S.
