When you run dhclient without arguments, it tries to get an ip address on any of the interfaces listed with /sbin/ifconfig minus the lo interface. If you take a look at that output with the ath9k module loaded, you'll see a "wmaster0" interface. My understanding is that this is a kind of abstraction layer from which the wlan0 interface is created. Thus, trying to get an ip address directly on it doesn't work. Of course wlan0 should get an ip just fine provided your associated to an AP with dhcp. If that message disturbs you, you could try runnning "dhclient wlan0" so that it only tries to get an address on wlan0 which is all you really want anyway. Kevin
