I did not try that; but after I originally reported the problem, Kevin Oberman suggested that it could be a routing issue, so I flushed my routing table, and now have been happily getting DHCP leases over wi0 whenever I need them. When I remember to do this, I have no problems going back and forth between Ethernet and wireless. Thanks. Jesse Sheidlower
