eth0 and wlan0 keep falling back to zeroconf

Hello,
I have a ferrari 4005 (broadcom tigon3 = eth0 and broadcom 4318 = wlan0) and I get my IP using dhcp.  For both devices I can manually bring them up using, for example, /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start.  However, if I try to get nm to initialize either device it times out after 25s and switches back to zeroconf which gives me a 169.254.x.x address.

A little background, the tigon3 support is compiled statically into the 2.6.16 kernel.  I'm using ndiswrapper for wlan0 and the AP has no encryption and is in managed mode.  I'm using vidalinux (gentoo variant) and my package versions are listed below.  The example I gave was for wlan0, but eth0 is similar. 

Am I just doing something stupid, or is something mis-configured?  I appreciate any help as I'd like to get this working.

nm 0.6.1-r2
wpa_supplicant-0.5.2
dbus-0.61-r1
ndiswrapper-1.9
dhcp-3.0.3-r4

After reading many (20+) posts on the forums I still haven't found the trick to getting it working.  In one it said to have USE="dbus" when I emerge dhcp.  It turns out that option is in my make.conf, and that the version of dhcp I have available, 3.0.3-r4, does not have dbus as an option.  I have created the folders /var/run/NetworkManager and /var/run/wpa_supplicant as another suggests, and nm actually gets rid of /var/run/wpa_supplicant when I tell nm-applet to connect to one of the APs it finds.  I was also told that I should remove dhcpcd as it conflicts with dhcp, but it didn't seem to make any difference.  Also, when I try to bring up wlan0 without nm dhclient has a different error about missing files (it says that the script it is reading can't find a file, but I actually can't find the script or the file so I guess it isn't lying completely).  I also made /sbin/dhclient-script executable as another thread suggested.

What works: If I bring both up manually with nm off this works fine.  For this case my /etc/conf.d/net has config_eth0=("dhcp") and config_wlan0=("dhcp"), and /etc/conf.d/wireless has config_wlan0=("dhcp").

[/code]

However when I have started nm and use nm-applet I get a timeout on wlan0 (I'll get to eth0 later as I'm away from a wired connection at the moment).  As best as I can tell it is doing everything right, it just doesn't ever associate.  I've listed dmesg, /var/log/messages, and some config files below.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 


I left /etc/conf.d/wireless the same, and I modified the /etc/dbus..../NetworkManager.conf dhcdbd.conf nm-applet.conf properly (so far as I know) as in I took the root section, copied it and changed my user name for root's.
