What kernel are you using? Post the output of ‘uname -r’.
2.6.27.7-9-pae
What are the PCI ID’s for your device. You can find that from the
output of ‘/sbin/lspci -nnv’. Only post the paragraph that refers to
the Wimax.
There is no Wimax device on the computer. The DHCP is through the regular eth device. This is the lspci output for that device.

In OpenSuse, I see the following logs:
Aug 7 19:58:26 linux-0ect dhcpcd[2750]: eth0: timed out
Aug 7 19:58:26 linux-0ect dhcpcd[2750]: eth0: trying to use old lease in `/var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-eth0.info’

Aug 7 19:58:46 linux-0ect dhcpcd[2750]: eth0: timed out
The parms in dhcpcd-eth0.info are:
cat /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-eth0.info
INTERFACE=‘eth0’
CLASSID=‘dhcpcd 3.2.3’
CLIENTID=‘01:00:1d:09:88:b5:b4’
DHCPCHADDR=‘00:1d:09:88:b5:b4’
In OpenSuse, if I tcpdump eth0, I do see some kind of a response:
21:23:50.096671 IP 76.67.40.154.6646 > 76.67.40.255.6646: UDP, length 1320
Yet, it never configures an IP address.
Thanks,
