Problem with setting up dhcp and wireless networking?

[Robert Kennedy]

I fixed the path for the dhclient-script in /etc/dhclient.conf.  The 
dhclient-script was placed in /sbin so I made the appropriate change.

I don't get any errors when I do a "dhclient ath0" but I still do not get an 
IPaddress.  It times out.

Any ideas?

Should I use dhcpcd instaed?

Rob
P.S.  I am using the 2.6.15.2 kernel
