Thanks. It doesn't work yet but I have made some progress.
I realize now that the problem is not with dhcp but at a lower level.

I can see the status with 'iwconfig eth1' and everything seems fine (I
have even disabled the encryption on the base station).
But with ifconfig I see :

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:30:65:09:E4:D1  
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:68 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:26928 (26.2 KiB)
          Interrupt:57 

where I see 'TX packets:0 errors:68' which if I understand correctly
means that nothing goes in the air.

Any idea ?
