I am having a strange problem with my installation of pfSense on a WRAP system.

 

The hardware has two LAN interfaces, and one Atheros Wireless card.

 

I also have a client laptop which has an Intel Pro 2200BG Wireless card running 
under Windows XP.

 

When the laptop is powered up, it immediately connects to the pfSense AP, but 
the DHCP process does not complete.  DHCP is being performed by a Server on the 
protected network.  The strange thing is that if I reboot the pfSense box, the 
laptop will then grab an IP from DHCP.  This reboot only lasts for a short 
while, and then the cycle will repeat.

 

I also just noticed that if the Laptop is connected to the AP and does not get 
an IP address, and I then plug a hardwire Ethernet cable into the LAN on the 
laptop, both the LAN and the Wireless interfaces will get IP addresses!!

 

I am at a total loss as to what would be causing this.   Any help or direction 
at this point would be immensely appreciated!

 

Thank you,

 

~Tim
