Arch Linux

Description:
I'm using the brcmsmac module in 3.0 and have been able to connect to the wireless network fine using wpa_supplicant. I then installed netcfg through pacman, configured it to run with my wireless network, added netcfg and removed network from my daemons, configured rc.conf to use the correct profile and rebooted.

Upon reboot, I notice I do not have an ip address. I ran iwconfig and saw that I am connected to the wireless network properly and a link has been established. When I look in the logs, I notice dhcpcd is no longer able to maintain an ip address (though it does acquire one, which confirms that I am connected to the wireless network).

Upon disabling netcfg and rerunning wpa_supplicant, I am able to run dhcp manually and it works fine.

I have searched the forums and it was suggested to run dhcp --nohooks mtu but that did not change anything. I looked at my router's DHCP logs and the only two lines there showed that it had send an ACK to my computer and that a request was sent for an IP from my computer immediately after that.
