I tried it at first with only the internal Broadcom card. I also tried
it with my dlink card. No luck. 

Maybe I'm using the wrong drivers (but I don't think so). lspci shows me
both of my wireless cards:

02:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g
Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212
802.11abg NIC (rev 01)


When I run /sbin/dhclient wlan0 I get:

[root at laptop ~]# dhclient wlan0

Seems like it's close!
