Aironet 340 MAC Address Issue (Slackware 11, 2.6)
 
At school, we have MAC address filtering for the CS building wireless access point (it's also a lot less restrictive on clients, i.e. no blocked ports). I signed up and got my two cards addresses recorded. Unfortunately, for some reason, the Aironet card can't acquire an address via DHCP (my ndiswrapped Broadcom one does, however). Getting an address from DHCP isn't the problem (I can get an address from other, non-filtered access points). The following is ifconfig output (only the Aironet MAC is unblocked):

Code:

EDIT: Also, anyone happen to know where I can get the official Cisco drivers other than Cisco?

EDIT 2: dmesg output when the card is inserted:
