Wireless Woes

Ok, it seems as though this topic isn't getting very many responses- but it's worth a try.

My problem is this: I have an 802.11b router that I have successfully connected to with my wireless card, in the past. Now it seems that I can't resolve an IP address. My router shows a connection, but my wlan0 does not recieve an IP addr. I have changed nothing- one day it worked one day it didn't.


Some more technical information:

I'm trying to use DHCP- using static ip configuration (which I do for my desktop) does not work.

I'm using the acx100 driver package.
