[driverloader] No DHCPOFFERS received.

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

can you try with different versions of the Windows XP driver to see if 
there is a difference? You could also try to connect to an access point 
without WPA enabled to see if there is a difference.

If you require more assistance, please send at support at linuxant.com the 
output of 'dumpdiag'. Type the following in a root shell:

---
dldrconfig --dumpdiag
---

Just send us the generated file located in /tmp 
('driverloaderdiag.txt'). It'll help us solve the problem.

Regards,


Jonathan
