Good call! I didn't realize before dhclient wouldn't work if NetworkManager was active. I can get an IP address from dhclient if I kill NetworkManager (/etc/init.d/dbus stop, the only way I know to do that :) ). What's funny is that I need to remove and reinsert the ath_pci module to make it work. Cheers, Carlos
