Does the network access work even with dhcpd (i.e., are the error
messages only thing that tells there is something odd going on) or are
there noticeable problems in connection? Do you get error messages even
without the station (i.e., just running dhcpd)?

I have seen similar errors when promiscuous mode was used, but I
commented it out Dec 9, 2002 so it should have been of in that latest
CVS version test you did. Anyway, DHCP server should not really need
promiscuous mode.

If you can still repeat the problem with the current CVS version, please
tell me which DHCP server you are using and I'll try to duplicate this.
You could also send dmesg output from the first error messages (i.e.,
including the card initialization and the first few error messages).
