           Summary: DHCP fails to obtain IP address on a wireless network
                    if the SSID ends with a number
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 11.3
           Version: RC 2
          Platform: i686
        OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Network

A basic summary of the problem: If I try to connect to a wireless network that
has an SSID that ends with a number (for example: "JoesNetwork123"), the
wireless card associates (as shown by iwconfig and the NetworkManager icon),
but it never gets the IP information. After about 60 seconds, the connection
times out.

I have tested this on two different machines.
Machine A: Laptop, 32-bit, ATH5K wireless, openSUSE 11.1
Machine B: Laptop, 32-bit, Broadcom wireless, openSUSE 11.3 RC2

The problem occurs with both NetworkManager (in KDE and LXDE) and the
"traditional method" with ifup.

While NetworkManager is trying to connect, dmesg and iwconfig show that the
card is associating and deassociating ("dmesg | tail" is below).

I can always connect to the network if I manually specify the IP information.

The output of my "dmesg | tail" follows (MAC addresses obscured):

wlan0: authenticated
wlan0: associate with AP 00:0a:06:ff:XX:XX
wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:0a:06:ff:XX:XX (capab=0x421 status=0 aid=4)
wlan0: associated
wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:0a:06:ff:XX:XX
wlan0: authenticated
wlan0: associate with AP 00:0a:06:ff:XX:XX
wlan0: RX ReassocResp from 00:0a:06:ff:XX:XX (capab=0x421 status=0 aid=4)
wlan0: associated
wlan0: disassociating by local choice (reason=3)

Reproducible: Always
