when i try to get DHCP, it says:

Maybe you should test with static ip first. I have it working with static ip, then tested that it works with dhcp. Make sure WEP key is set correctly if you are using one.
I vaguely remember having the problem. What I did, at least for Fedora Core 1, is to manually edit the cfg file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 and add
ESSID=...
KEY=...
MODE=Managed
and let the Fedora script ifup-wireless pick it up and perform the necessary operation. I don't know how that will work in other distributions.
