The specific model I've had problems with (don't know about the OP) is a BEFW11S4 ver. 2 Wireless Access Point and Cable/DSL Router with 4-port switch. This new problem is the second I've had with this device that seems to specifically affect OpenBSD; the first is described in OpenBSD bug report 3875, but seems to now be resolved (perhaps inadvertently--that problem started with 3.6, wasn't fixed as far as I know, but seems to work in 3.7). CDJ Mine's a Linksys BEFSX41 running the latest firmware (1.50.18). I tried various options in /etc/dhclient.conf (including all defaults) with the same results. I'll try to generate a tcpdump this evening if that would be helpful. -- Emmett Buddy Pate

Regards, Zaihan I successfully installed the 8/16 snapshot at the office (which uses a different DHCP server) and dhclient acquires a lease with no problem. However, at home (using a Linksys router as the DHCP server), dhclient fails to get a lease. As noted earlier, dhclient from 3.7 works fine at both locations. There's nothing suspicious in /etc/dhclient.conf or /var/db/dhclient.leases.wi0. I'm at a loss as to how to help debug this. Any suggestions? Thanks, Emmett Buddy Pate
8/13 snapshot and DHCP
I'd like to install the latest snapshot on a laptop that's currently running 3.7-release. The boot CD fails to get a dynamic IP address. My question is where is the most appropriate archive/list to research whether this is a known problem? I just want to make sure I'm posting to the correct place before I write up the details. Thanks, -- Emmett Buddy Pate

The NIC is a D-Link DWL-650 that, according to dmesg, initializes fine. The same hardware works fine with the cd37.iso CD. I'll be glad to supply any other information that may be of use.
