[CentOS] Wireless DELL M90 with CentOS 5.1

Hi,

I have a laptop DELL M90 with an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG card. 

After installed new rpm drivers (see below), my card is recognized and I can see my wireless acces point with (iwlist - iwconfig) but it's impossible to connect to it. It seem that I can't obtain an IP address. In the log message I have "dhclient : DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval )


The same laptop installed in Windows XP connect imediatly to my wireless acces point. Other Windows XP laptops can connect immediatly so. 

My laptop is installed with CentOS 5.1 - kernel 2.6.18-53.el5
 

Any help ?
Best Regards.


I have installed the following rpm :

ieee80211-kmdl-2.6.18-53.el5-1.2.18-21.el5.x86_64.rpm
ipw3945-ucode-1.14.2-4.at.noarch.rpm
ipw3945d-1.7.22-4.at.x86_64.rpm
ipw3945-kmdl-2.6.18-53.el5-1.2.0-18.4.el5.x86_64.rpm
ipw3945-1.2.0-18.4.el5.x86_64.rpm


I'm using the following script in the booting process for recognizd the card.
