Binary package hint: nautilus

Package: DHCP3
System: 9.10 UNR
BCM 4312 NIC with the WL driver
/var/cache/apt/archives/dhcp3-client_3.1.2-1ubuntu7_i386.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/dhcp3-common_3.1.2-1ubuntu7_i386.deb


wifi will not connect automatically upon booting or connection (when not starting wifi from boot). DHCP times out. I can manually configure and give an IP address. It did work when I initially installed 9.10, but failed a few days later. Also, it worked when I configured to give a static IP from the router upon a DHCP request (static DHCP), but again only for a few days.
I increased the default time to 60s in the dhclient.conf file, but no joy.

Attached is a cut from the daemon log, and also a cut from my router log
that shows the DHCP server leasing an IP address to the client.
