Surely that sounds like a problem with dhcp, not WiFi?
Can't be. This laptop has Mandriva 2009 + KDE 4. It connects using
wpa_supplicant and gets its address by dhcp.
At one point it was suggested that it was a kde problem, but the gnome live cd
has exactly the same problem. This is purely a fedora problem. As it has
been for several releases.
