So needless to say DHCP cries "no link" and fails. First cause to check is authentication keys. I'm going to assume you're using WEP, in which case the nr.1 cause with wpa_supplicant is that you're trying to use wepkey1 rather then wepkey0. It should look like this: wep_key0=FE0lblablablehexkey wep_tx_keyidx=0 If it's not wep you're using, now would be a good time to mention what you are using :) -- Mel
