Chuck,

Thanks for the clarifications.

<rant> People don't pay enough attention to the communications
infrastructure when they move.  If the interwebs are important to you,
as they are to most people on this mailing list, they really deserve
much more consideration.  It is common to assume that we are living in
the 21st century.  This is sadly not the case, even in parts of
Portland, much less many rural areas. </rant>

If you want to figure out what is going on, you can install tcpdump on
your OpenWrt device and sniff for the DHCP traffic.  I've been known
to pipe the PCAP data from tcpdump over ssh to a real computer to
dissect it with wireshark, e.g. on the OpenWrt device:

  # tcpdump -s0 -w- [tcpdump options here] | ssh $user@$hostname 'cat > 
/tmp/diagnostics.pcap'

then, after you've captured enough data, back on $hostname:

  $ wireshark /tmp/diagnostics.pcap
