Harshal, Thank you for you reply. I worked on the 802.11 MAC before but donot know much about the upper layers.
If the setup is changed, the DHCP server is on wired network and connected to a wireless station in the ad hco network via ethernet, does DHCP still work?

You will need to configure the the other devices to tell them where the DHCP server is but this is not really WLAN-specific. Let me know if you have any problems with this.
