Could you post your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0? It may help
us solve your error. But I do not think that is what is causing the problem.
What type of security is your modem/router set up to use? (WEP/WPA/none) If
you do not set up the wireless card to use the same security, and/or if you
are not using the managed mode on your wireless NIC, you are going not going
to get a DHCP lease.
Dear Ellertson
This is my ifcfg-wlan0, as you asked:
<<
# Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
DEVICE=wlan0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=00:1C:BF:D6:3B:34
NETMASK=
DHCP_HOSTNAME=
IPADDR=
DOMAIN=
TYPE=Wireless
ESSID=ddnet
CHANNEL=3
MODE=Auto
RATE=auto
SEARCH=
DNS2=192.168.1.1
DNS3=192.168.1.1
DNS1=192.168.1.1
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=yes
IPV6INIT=no
NM_CONTROLLED=no
I am using Fedora 8, with XFCE, though Gnome is installed too.
My ADSL modem is Siemens SL2_141. I kept the wireless setting there
like:
Basic --> Enable Wireless --> (checked)
SSID --> ddnet
Country --> India
Enable Wireless Guest Network --> (unchecked)
Security --> Select SSID --> (ddnet)
Network Authentication --> Open
WEP Encryption --> Disabled
In my 'system-config-network' in the laptop I have kept the settings
like this:
wlan0 --> Activate device when computer starts
Automatically obtain IP address --> DHCP
Automatically obtain DNS Information --> (checked)
Wireless Settings Mode --> Auto
Network Name --> Specified --> ddnet
Channel --> 1
Transmit rate --> Auto
Key --> (nothing)
I have tried the Network name --> (Auto) too, with the same results.

Did you try setting MODE=Managed?
Do you see your router's ssid broadcast with the following command?
# iwlist wlan0 scan
Kind regards
