A little IPv4 network education is in order:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3927
Your interface is auto self configuring a link local address because it is
unable to contact a DHCP server. Please read the RFC to better understand the
process.
Your next step is to troubleshoot why your interface isn't able to contact a
DHCP server.
Thanks for the link Stan. After reading that I went back and checked
all of the packages I had installed/ Purged/removed in my efforts to get
this working. I found that I had to reinstall dhcp3* which had been
removed when I tried different network managers.
In addition I removed all of the IPv6 address in /etc/hosts. just in case.
I no longer get an IP address, the MiFi fails to give me one. It, wicd,
no longer crashes the system when I get that default IP address. So now
I can concentrate on what is bothering the MiFi about giving me an IP.
Thanks much again. You helped narrow the possibilities, and that't
helps a lot.
Best Regards
Wayne
Oh, and Happy New Year to you and yours.
