I found a workaround that I introduce here for the case it can help some other people in my situation, as well as for the case it gives a clue for a potential fix:
- I duplicated my local wifi connection and in one of the two I modified the default options to adhoc, B/G 2.4GHz, Channel 1 (I also changed the label to know which one is each) - Then I manually connect the modified wifi connection, but right at the time it is requesting an IP, I rapidly connect the other (default) connection If I do it in this specific order, then the default network works. If I just try to connect either of the two without replicating this sequence, the two fail miserably.
