[TriLUG] Wifi card weirdness

[Frye, Matthew]

For reasons that are too complicated to explain, I reloaded Fedora Core 1 on
my laptop last week.  Now, when it tries to activate eth0 (my Cisco Aironet
350), it fails.  Dhclient says no offers received and iwconfig can't seem to
associate that interface with any access point (it reads FF:FF:FF:FF:FF for
the ap mac address, give or take an FF:).  
 
The card can work.  I know this because I can assign it a static address and
if I write the /etc/resolv.conf and setup a default route, I can get to the
internet, etc.  Does this sound familiar?  Is dhclient hosed?  Is it my
card's driver?  I know that the system attempts to bring up eth0 before
cardctl even sees the card, and that doesn't make much sense, but I don't
remember it being different before.  Any clues would be appreciated.
