DHCP problems while connecting with a Wifi AP

[Mark Moellering]

Matthias,

Not sure what problem you are having but a  month or so ago, I suddenly had
trouble connecting to my wi-fi router/AP.  I made some changes and I now
connect every time.

Here is what I did.  I changed my entry in rc.conf to: ifconfig_wlan0="WPA
SYNCDHCP"      (instead of DHCP)

And in /boot/loader.conf, I added;
wlan_wep_load="YES"
wlan_ccmp_load="YES"
wlan_tkip_load="YES"

I hope this helps
