Unhappy 3COM PCMCIA working but dhcp problem


Hello all.
I seem to have a weird problem with my wireless card.
Everything loaded ok, sees the card, loads the module, i run iwconfig
and i see atml0 ok with its ssid and key all fine.
It gets an access point signal but it just wont get an Ip address!
I checked the syslog messages and after the dhcp request its says cannot locate module..
Though, the green light is on, and the interface seems to be up..
Any ideas? I would really appreciate it.

Thanx in advance.

******

Im pasting here the messages that i get, so its more specific to anyone who could help me out.

atml0 ATMEL RFMD ESSID:"Cosmo"
Mode:Managed Channel:2 Access Point: 00:0%:%%:E7:14:C0
Bit Rate:2Gb/s
RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr=2346 B

modepen
Link Quality:40 Signal level:73 Noise level:0

And the error at the syslog while tryin to get an ip address:
