<br>
I have a FR whith 2008.8 + latest updates, and I can't connect to any<br>
wifi network with the GUI. The "settings" page shows correctly the list<br>
of available APs, when I click on one it asks for a password, and that's<br>
all.<br>
<br>
At home, I have a WEP network (which is working very well), and I could<br>
try connecting with the commandline. An iwlist scan shows the APs, then<br>
iwconfig essid and key connect to the AP, but that's all.<br>
When I then run "dhclient eth0", it goes into an infinite loop where it<br>
receives an OFFER, then does a DECLINE.<br>
<br>
Here is the log seen from the server side (dnsmasq):<br>

<br>
dhclient on the FR shows the same kind of thing.<br>
<br>
<br>
Any hint ?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
