Chris,

I now get the following error:

$ udhcpc -i wlan0
info, udhcpc (v0.9.9-pre) started
error, FATAL: couldn't listen on socket, Address
family not supported by protocol

It looks like I need to turn on CONFIG_PACKET in the
kernel.  Did you have to do this as well?

Thanks for the help.  

Ollie
