DHCP timeout

[Ursus]

Binary package hint: nautilus

Package: DHCP3
System: 9.10 UNR
BCM 4312 NIC with the WL driver
/var/cache/apt/archives/dhcp3-client_3.1.2-1ubuntu7_i386.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/dhcp3-common_3.1.2-1ubuntu7_i386.deb

wifi will not connect automatically upon booting or connection (when not starting wifi from boot). DHCP times out. I can manually configure and give an IP address. It did work when I initially installed 9.10, but failed a few days later. Also, it worked when I configured to give a static IP from the router upon a DHCP request (static DHCP), but again only for a few days.
I increased the default time to 60s in the dhclient.conf file, but no joy.

Attached is a cut from the daemon log, and also a cut from my router log that shows the DHCP server leasing an IP address to the client.

Hello Ursus,

Thank you for taking the time to submit a report. I think it may be better if we changed the affected package to either DHCP or Network Manager (or both). It doesn't seem that the Nautilus package would be the reason that IP leasing is not working. Thanks again.

Please attach the output of the dmesg command.

Thanks

Thanks Chuck. Here it is attached with automatic DHCP enabled.
