Ok, I've had this same problem since the first time I tried bcm43xx. I've managed to obtain the IP with dhcp doing one of these two things (I call my wireless interface bcm0): 1) ifup bcm0 Let it finish the first time with out obtaining an IP, and then issue a "dhclient bcm0" which normally obtained an IP from my router. Some times I have to issue a 'iwlist bcm0 scan' and then the 'dhclient bcm0', but this happens very rare times. 2) This is what I use now, it works great and it was a surprise for me. I installed "network-manager-gnome" only to test/try it and...it gets the IP address instantly, I mean, when I start my gnome session the bcm0 interface, is up, associated and with an IP!! and I don't have to do anything :) One more thing...it seems for some people to cause problems a bitrate of 54M, so I use the 11M bitrate. I don't use WPA so I can't tell you if it will work with it, but for me it has solved a lot of my problems. Hope it works for you. A.
