SDIO and DHCP

[Simon Twogood]

Hell everyone,

I've been having success using the a Libertas SDIO module with Linux  
2.6.27, but only with static IP addresses. My board is an Atmel  
AT91SAM9263. Has anyone had success obtaining an IP address through  
DHCP on a similar board, or any other board for that matter?

I found a old thread that mentions a similar problem here http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/libertas-dev/2008-May/001526.html 
, but it seems it was unresolved.

My firmware version is 9.70.3p24. Here's a sample of the the procedure  
I use to reproduce my error:


root at mydevice:~$ modprobe libertas_sdio
