Doesn't it look like the wpa connection is successful? It says: " Activation (wlan0/wireless) Stage 2 of 5 (Device Configure) successful. Connected to wireless network 'pszone'." Only stages 3/4 (the DHCP part) seems to fail... The DHCPDISCOVER times out. Google says that some people with linksys DHCP problems in linux rebooted it or flashed it...

Thanks for you reply. On further googling, I found that similar cards had the same problem. It seems that if one does a tcpdump in another terminal while using NM it works. I even got the latest firmware on the router.
what works:
tcpdump -i wlan0 host <hostname>
Then run NM and voila! I was able to connect. I wonder why the card has to be in promiscuous mode to work?
Anyone have any thoughts?
Don't know, but I think there is an option you can put in your interface file to bring it up in promiscuous mode. Try that and see if NM can grab it on boot.

There used to be a PROMISC=yes setting I could have used int the ifcfg-wlan0 file but is now unsupported according to /usr/share/doc/initscripts-8.45.30/sysconfig.txt.
Thanks for trying though as it is appreciated.
