4.6-RELEASE and Aironet DHCP

Hi all,

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong, but I have a 4.6-RELEASE notebook 
with an Aironet 350 that I can't seem to configure via DHCP.  Static 
configuration works fine.  I am on a network using LEAP and I am able to 
authenticate without any problems.  I seem to receive information from 
the DHCP server as I have a /var/db/dhclient.leases, but my an0 
interface does not configure an address.  If I run dhclient an0, the 
best that I get is inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xFF00000000 . . .  I do get a 
populated /etc/resolv.conf.

In my rc.conf, I have:

pccard_enable="YES"
pccard_ifconfig="DHCP" (I have tried both with and without this.)
ifconfig_an0="DHCP"

My SSID is currently set in rc.conf.local but I'll move it to 
start_if.an0 later.

After logging in, I do the following:

ancontrol -i an0 -L <user_name>
<password>

One time the interface took the IP address, but I can't figure out why. 
  After trying another dhclient an0 to see what would happen, I lost the 
address and haven't gotten it back.

Any help would be great.

Regards,

Aron
