I see them in the pfsense logs, so I guess it would be seen in a tcpdump
session as well.
well, that could be a dangerous assumption.
I would recommend trying tcpdump, if nothing else to be sure that the
dhcp response is going out the right interface (use something like
"tcpdump -e -i ethX -l -n -s 1500 port 67 or port 68" - the "-e" dumps
the link-layer, i.e. mac addresses, IIRC).
Funny, I only see Requests... But in the logs I see offers, acks, etc.
I'll double-check my tcpdump settings another time.
# tcpdump -e -i sis0 -n -s 1500 port 67 or port 68
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on sis0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 1500 bytes

one thing occurs to me is that if you're suffering from network
congestion then possibly the dhcp response is being lost.
I doubt so... only 3 wireless clients.
