after moving to netcfg, can't connect to wireless using DHCP anymore

Hello,

A few hours ago I migrated to netcfg2 to manage my wireless connections. It was working perfectly until I shutdown, now connecting to the WLAN with DHCP doesn't work anymore:

I tried with 2 different kernels (both -ARCH and the Zen kernel) and no change, still can't connect!

EDIT: it only happens with DHCP. If I manually force an IP address upon the WLAN, it works. (this is not a problem for my home LAN, but will probably muck things up if I need to use an AP I don't own).

Any suggestions? I'm using an Intel 3945 wireless. This was the WLAN-related stuff I installed:

[2010-01-17 01:34] installed netcfg (2.5.0rc2-1)
[2010-01-17 01:34] installed wifi-select (0.8-2)
[2010-01-17 01:35] installed wpa_actiond (1.0-1)
[2010-01-17 01:35] installed ifplugd (0.28-6)

Thanks!
