Hmm....  tried running ethereal on my laptop while the DHCP was going
on, and ethereal only detected the DHCP UDP requests, and didn't see
any other packets at all, let alone TCP packets....

not sure what that means, but it might be similar to what Sami was
seeing looking at the access point side (no DHCP requests received on
AP side)
