12-18-2010 10:51 AM  (SOLVED) Fedora 14 wireless random
successful connection, DHCPDISCOVER fails My Fedora 14
installation using NetworkManager to control my Linksys USB
wireless adapter, very randomly succeeds in getting a connection
to my Linksys router. The symptoms I saw were: 1) I always saw
my router SSID listed without issues. 100% signal strength (it
is in the same room). 2) /var/log/messages always showed a
successful connection, but during the DHCP phase it would always
just timeout and report no IP address information and drop the
connection. 3) Running NetworkManager from commandline basically
showed the same thing in its verbose messages - i.e. DHCP issue.
4) The router logs showed a successful connection from my
desktop and that an IP address and configuration was issued. MAC
address reported was correct also. 5) I wasn't getting errors
from seLinux (I set to permissive anyway)
