I've got the same trouble. It seems particularly bad with iwh -- it looks like nwamd just doesn't wait long enough for the connection to occur, or that there's something funky about the driver. Worse, if I disconnect and then attempt to reconnect, the driver seems oddly dead. I can snoop and see traffic on the network, and I can even manually configure an IP address and ping hosts, but DHCP simply does not work. It's as though the broadcasts (which I can see with a local snoop) are not making it through. It's annoying to have to revert to Windows ... -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
