As someone (Tomas) let me know by private email, I was thinking about dhcpd, not dhcpcd (this summer is killing me :-); sorry for the confusion. So, some things to try: - be sure dhcpcd is not started by init at startup (you will need IFACE=none in /etc/dhcp/config for this). - take a look at your logs; maybe you can find what's happening in your syslog files. - if dhcpcd need more time to get a valid IP, you can modify /etc/pcmcia/network, and add a "-t" parameter to dhcpcd (see "man dhcpcd"). Gook luck. -- David
