Right, I have a DHCP client, but I don't know how to integrate the two 
together.  I using Debian/sid.

Where can I find this patch?  I need to at least call iwconfig 
manually to set the bssid, otherwise I won't be able to connect to 
different access points when I move my laptop.  I'm using the madwifi 
driver.  Wpa_supplicant says it is associating with the correct 
bssid, but then says it associated with the previously set bssid...
