I was checking continuously, wpa_gui maybe showed the IP briefly once or 
twice, but then it would disappear.

wpa_gui is also quite sloppy, and doesn't show the IP address right away 
for some reason.

The problem might also be that the IP address gets reset too quickly, 
not sure.


I can go back there in a week or so, and do some more experimentation. 
But I'm not sure how to capture the essence of the problem. tcpdump? 
wireshark? ktrace at the wpa_supplicant supplicant level instead? Can 
wpa_supplicant write an exhaustive log of what's going on?
