Panther / dhcp / wireless driver issue

[Sasha Borodin]

Howdy,

After doing a fresh install of Panther, I get a weird dhcp problem using my
PowerBook with the IOExperts driver:

Under certain conditions (see below) when I plug in my wireless card, it
looks like a dhcp address IS requested (per my Network settings); however,
each time the dhcp server issues one, it is declined by my Powerbook.  Here
is an excerpt from my dhcp server's log:

Nov  3 18:11:05 ra dhcpd: Abandoning IP address 192.168.0.120: declined.
Nov  3 18:11:18 ra dhcpd: Abandoning IP address 192.168.0.121: declined.
Nov  3 18:11:23 ra dhcpd: Abandoning IP address 192.168.0.122: declined.
Nov  3 18:11:36 ra dhcpd: Abandoning IP address 192.168.0.123: declined.
Nov  3 18:11:48 ra dhcpd: Abandoning IP address 192.168.0.124: declined.

...and so on, until I restart my PowerBook, after which everything is fine
(I get and KEEP an issued address).

Conditions:
    -this seems to happen after I've been on another (wired) network (ex. my
work, with a dhcp LAN), and I come home and plug in my wireless card

Specifics:
    - driver version: 1.0
    - the dhcp server is set to issue a PARTICULAR address based on my
wireless card's mac address
    - Bronze powerbook (Lombard)
    - Skyline wireless card
    - Graphite Airport base station doing ethernet bridging to my wired
network with a linux server/router.

Hypotheses:
    - it's panther's fault?  But DHCP works fine on a wired network (yes, I
also have my built-in ethernet's mac address get issued a specific ip)
    - it's my dhcp server?  But everything worked fine till upgrading to
Panther; and wired dhcp works.

So it's gotta be a compatibility issue with Panther's networking and the
IOExperts driver, right?

Thank you for any help,
