 I recently did some more experimenting and found an workaround that
 works for me ("ifconfig scan" still doesn' work):
 
 When I use an old ISC dhclient binary from FreeBSD 5 which ignores the
 "no carrier" status and sends the DHCP requests anyway,
 I get an IP address from the router and ifconfig shows "status:
 associated" afterwards. (and the network works just fine)
 
 
 Manually setting the IP address seems not work, however (but this
 might be also my router...).
