Hi:

I have configured my iwi0 with dhcp and use wpa_supplicant for 
associating with my access point. I have just noted this in my logs: My 
laptop queries for new ip many times per minute:

I suppose that the wpa_supplicant does stuff, changing channels every so 
often and then renegociates ip, is there any way to make this stop? To 
tell wpa_supplicant to stick to one channel for this network?

Thanks, Erik
