Hi list:

Just saw a new version of linux-image-2.6.20-1-powerpc (-3) and decided
to try it and see if I could connect with my wireless network.

As other people in this list I had problems (well I couldn't obtain a
dhcp ip from my router) with 2.6.20 (2.6.18 works flawlessly in this
aspect).

Well...seems that 2.6.20-3 still suffers the same problems than previous
versions of 2.6.20, but I've discovered a trick: you have to specify the
essid of the network you want to connect to, and that's all, so my
'/etc/network/interfaces' is something like this:

###########################################
allow-auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp
    wireless-essid my-essid
###########################################

And dhclient gets the ip-address from the router without problems.

Hope this helps you.
