Hey everybody,
    My company recently moved to a new building and I can no longer get on the 
wireless network. I'm running Suse 10.1 on a Dell d620 and the wireless works 
fine everyplace but work (go figure).  Here's what happens when I run 
dhclient from the command line:

emenescu:~ # dhclient wlan0
Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.0.3
Copyright 2004-2005 Internet Systems Consortium.

Listening on LPF/wlan0/00:16:ce:3a:e8:ad
Sending on   LPF/wlan0/00:16:ce:3a:e8:ad
Sending on   Socket/fallback
DHCPREQUEST on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
ip length 318 disagrees with bytes received 534.
accepting packet with data after udp payload.
DHCPACK from 192.168.2.1
bound to 192.168.2.112 -- renewal in 1549 seconds.

So as you can see I can talk to the raouter and even get an IP address but 
then I can't connect to anything. That "ip length 318 disagrees with bytes 
received 534." is probably the problem but I can't figure out what exactly it 
means. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Trevor
