        Has anybody gotten a PowerBook to do wireless ethernet via a
        Lucent Wavelan/IEEE board in ad-hoc mode plus DHCP? I'm running
        a 2.2.16 kernel, 3.1.19 of the PCMCIA package plus the powec-pc
        patches for endianness issues.

        /etc/pcmcia/config.opts contains:

                include memory 0x80000000-0x80ffffff
                include port 0x100-0x1ff

                module "wvlan_cs" opts "port_type=3"

        /etc/pcmcia/network.opts has:

                DHCP="y"

        The card gets recognized, the modules get loaded, wvlan0 shows
        up via an "ifconfig -a", but dhcpcd can't connect to the
        server. I've tried dhcpcd via eth0 and that works fine, so
        it's not DHCP.

        - Paul
