DHCP works just fine with all 3 of my BCM43xx cards with a Linksys WRT54G V5 
AP. Does a wired
connection running Linux get a DHCP address OK? At one time, Linksys screwed up 
the firmware in the
WRT54G and its DHCP server would only work with Windows clients. No Linux nor 
OS X machines could
get an address.

If it is limited to wireless, do you have another wireless system that could 
run ethereal or kismet
and capture the traffic?
