I am trying to get wireless networking up and running. I am able to connect
to the router but it appears that I am not being assigned an address by
dhcp.
Here is the output:

I am perplexed. When I do a "iwconfig ath0", it shows that I am conncted.
It also shows the right encryption key.
Any ideas on what may be going on and how to fix it?
