Updated to 7.0-PRERELEASE yesterday. I have a Ralink chipset USB wireless adaptor. It gets the ural driver as expected. Typically I connect it with dhcpclient to a completely open wireless access point. dhcpclient is good enough to find the first ssid it gets and sets me up with a DHCP lease to use dhcp with it. All I needed to do was issue "dhcpclient ural0" This behaviour seems to have changed in PRERELEASE. dhcplcient simply tells me "ural0: no link...." Here's the interesting thing though. I can manually set the ipaddress, netmask, ssid, and default route of the system and "cheat" my way into network access without requiring a dhcp lease. I assume that there's been some change in dhcpclient which has upset it's normal behaviour, whereas the ural driver still works (more or less - it often "times out" randomly)
