We have seen a number of Mac's getting put into exclusion because they are trying to use an IP address that has already been assigned to another device. at least that is the implication from looking at the WISM logs. Does anyone know how apple handles DHCP leasing? Especially when they are just being powered up? We speculate that they are trying to attach to their previous IP when in the world of large networks that IP could be handed out to another client but don't know for sure.

Have you guys run into this issue? We run Cisco's lightweight APs on WiSMs running code 5.2.193. Mac will associate to our APs but just won't obtain an IP address. In the end it assigns itself a self-assigned IP. We are seeing this on a lot of new MacBooks and MacBookPros running 10.5.8. If we associate the computer to an autonomous AP it works fine. If we boot it in safe mode it works fine too. Everything else it just fails.
