DHCP timeout when connecting to WPA network

[Guest]

Hello all

I recently installed 9.10 and now have a problem connecting to my home network. It seems to be a problem with DHCP configuring my IP address. I have tried both the KDE network manager and wicd.

I believe the above is the correct part of /var/log/syslog. Anyone have any ideas on what I could do to get my wireless working?

Re: DHCP timeout when connecting to WPA network

I had the same problem . I used a workaround i.e. open a terminal and code "sudo dhclient" so you can obtain the wifi connection
