[ug-bosug] WLAN Connectivity - DHCP Client

[Nageswara Rao]

Guys,
I am using a Ferrari 4000 with a built in Wireless Adaptor (fr4kndis0).  Occasionally, when I start the laptop, it fails to establish connectivity because dhcpagent fails to start.  I have tried starting dhcpagent with the '-v' option but it returns to the prompt with no messages/log.
This, like any tough issue, is a sporadic problem I am facing.  If I restart the laptop, it usually succeeds.  But, when it happens it is annoying.  Also, if I start the network and DHCP client through inetmenu, it usually succeeds.  It is when it tries to connect during boot, that it fails, usually.
Not sure if I should worry about this, but was wondering if any one else has faced these issues.
KNR
