[wplug] Wireless access point & dhcp

[Mike Procario]

I have a Linksys WUSB11 which is USB based and surely uses a
different driver, but I also had trouble with DHCP. I am running
RedHat 9, and everything was fine until I turned on WEP. It
appeared that the init scripts did the DHCP call before it did the
WEP configurationi, so I ended up with a properly configured NIC
but no IP address. I never did figure out the scripting issue. I
went to a static IP and everything was fine. This is not going to
solve your problem if you need to use DHCP, but it may point to
where the problem is.
