Some more info, tail -f /var/log/messages gave "no IPv6 routers present"
I then followed a tip to remove ipv6 from /etc/modprobe.conf. This did
nothing, same result: No IP from dhcp, can see the access point's mac,
the ap can see the card.s mac. Static IP can not ping anything but the
card itself and the gateway is correct.
