Freerunner corrupts dhcp forwarding of Linksys WRE54G wireless range extender

[Jan Vlug]

I am using a Linksys WRE54G wireless range extender to increase the
coverage of my wireless LAN.
When my Neo FreeRunner gets an IP address from the DHCP server (behind
the WRE54G), subsequent requests for an IP address from other computers
fail.
Resetting the WRE54G by unplugging it fixes this problem.
I am surprised by this behavior because in theory, the WRE54G should
only forward network packets...
