Howdy all!  I'm having a tough time getting DHCP to work on my wireless card.  
It's the intel 2200, and I am using wpa_supplicant with it.  The contents of 
my /etc/conf.d/net are:

modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
config_eth1=( "dhcp" )
wpa_supplicant_eth1="-Dwext"

The problem seems to be that DHCP isn't being used, and the even weirder part 
is that when I bring eth1 up via /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start, ifconfig will 
show eth1 configured with an IPv6 address!  /var/log/messages isn't helpful, 
except to point out that there are no ipv6 routers on my network (duh!).  
When I manually run dhcpcd eth1, then the ip address is obtained correctly 
and it works.  What should I check to see why DHCP doesn't seem to be being 
used on this interface and why I'm getting an IPv6 address?  Thanks!
