(RADIATOR) Radiator/Wireless/DHCP

Hello Robert -
I would not expect the Laptop to be configured for DHCP if you are
using a wireless client. It is usually the Access Point that allocates
the address to the wireless client (the Access Point itself might use a
DHCP server for address allocation).
Unfortunately I do not have any Orinoco wireless equipement here, so I
can't do any testing. I have however configured Orinoco equipment on a
customer site with no problems.
regards
Hugh
