Yes and it would be also nice if you could try connect to your router from 
command line. Something like:

iwfconfig essid eth0 your_ap_essid
udhcpc eth0

and you can also try with dhclient:

iwfconfig essid eth0 your_ap_essid
dhclient eth0

If my reading of the QtMoko source is correct, QtMoko simply uses
'udhcpc' to do client-side DHCP.  So what you've described may be a
known bug with the Debian squeeze version of udhcpc (which is part of
busybox).

Therefore, you might like to:

- see if you can reproduce the same problem with Debian squeeze udhcpc,
  running independently of QtMoko

- investigate if that problem has since been fixed in busybox upstream

- build and install a modified busybox package that adds that udhcpc
  fix.

Neil
