Linux on PS3 - Wireless Connection - IP Address Problem


I have installed Yellow Dog Linux 6.1 on my PS3, and I am having trouble connecting to the internet. It WILL detect my modem and when I click connect, it gets to the bit where it's 'Obtaining IP Address', but from there it doesn't work.

Please can somebody help me, it would really mean alot.

Thank-you.

Nothing so far suggests that's a Linux problem. Any reason DHCP wouldn't be working on your network?

I have exactly the same problem and It is a linux problem as:
- My PS3 internet conection works fine with original game OS, on linux it stops working
- It's not a DHCP or router pb as I have other 3 wirelesss connected laptops and one wired desktop. All just work fine and are getting IPs.

My PS3 just dispays "not connected" after taking a while in "getting ip adress"
