Linksys WAG54G and Dell 1300 mini PCI

Question

Hi,   I cannot get my Dell 1300 mini pci to obtain a DHCP address from my router (linksys wag54g).  The dhcp is working correctly for other wireless devices on the network. (my pc with a linksys PCI wireless card).  If I assign a static IP, I am able to ping the router, but no devices on the ethernet LAN of the router.  I can also access the internet if I manually enter the DNS and gateway settings.  As I said before, there are no issues at all with other wireless cards/pcs.   Any ideas anyone?   Thanks, Bryan

Yep.   And I have tried the same wireless card on an inspiron 5150 and had the same problem.  I might try works dell laptop (latitude D600) I think its got a 1400 mini pci.  I have a hunch that I'll have the same problem with that though.
