Thanks. It doesn't work yet but I have made some progress.
I realize now that the problem is not with dhcp but at a lower level.
I can see the status with 'iwconfig eth1' and everything seems fine (I
have even disabled the encryption on the base station).
But with ifconfig I see :
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:30:65:09:E4:D1
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:68 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:26928 (26.2 KiB)
Interrupt:57
where I see 'TX packets:0 errors:68' which if I understand correctly
means that nothing goes in the air.
Any idea ?
