[driverloader] No DHCPOFFERS received.

[Paul Warner]

Hi,

I am running the Netgear WG511v2, and with Linuxant
I've been able to get my Ubuntu 5.10 system (running
on an old Thinkpad T21 with a Pentium III processor)
to see and activate the card.  And I have established
that the card connects to the network when I have no
security enabled.  I want to enable WPA-PSK, so I
downloaded and installed dldrwpaconfig.  But following
all the steps, I have been unable to get it to
connect.  I have the wlan0 card set to use the right
network, and have set it to use an ASCII passphrase,
and left WEP blank.

The dhclient can't connect.  Any ideas what is going
on?

Thanks,
Paul

Before you try to configure your wireless interface to
use WPA, please make
sure that you have configured your wireless interface
using the network
configuration tool provided in your Linux
distribution. You should configure
the wireless interface with WEP disabled.

Automatically selected the wireless interface 'wlan0'.
Supports WPA with TKIP.

Automatically selected the access point with ESSID
'our-home-network'.

This configuration script only supports WPA-PSK
("WPA-Personal"), do you
want to configure your wireless interface to use only
WPA-PSK? [yes]
Do you want to use a (H)EX pre-shared key or an
(A)SCII passphrase? [A]
Please enter a passphrase between 8 and 63 characters
(inclusive) :
long-string-here

Saving the configuration file...  Done.
