Hello,

I'm trying to make my wifi dongle work on my sid box (kernel
2.6.32-trunk-686). It is correctly recognized, the WPA authentication
works fine as well, but it fails getting an address from DHCP. Here is
the relevant syslog output:

It uses the RT2500usb kernel driver and it works fine on windows XP

Does anyone manage to make it work ?

Thanks,
