problems obtaining an wireless IP address
 

I have a dell laptop with fedora core 2
my wireless card is installed and works fine and finds my Acces Point, however when I try to run dhclient to obtain an IP address I get this:

/sbin/dhclient-script: configuration for wlan0 not found.
dhclient.c(2046): null pointer
DHCPDECLINE on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8
DHCPOFFER from 192.168.0.1
DHCPREQUEST on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPACK from 192.168.0.1

over and over agian until i terminate it.
I havfe no idea why this won't work. I looked in dhclient-script, but its just a bunch of code and i have no idea how i could make it work for wlan0. Please help!

ifconfig reports this:

ndiswrapper is up and working and all the correct drivers are installed. All help is greatly appreciated.

Do you have a dhcp server on your network?

With all the other computers on the network an IP address is just given to them by the router I belive. dhclient also works when I have my wired NIC plugged into the router, so I don't think thats the problem. All the other computers on the network are also windows boxes, I'm not sure if windows has something that linux doesn't to do this. I am kind of new to the linux community and don't know too much about it, so try to bear with me. I think the problem lays here (this is the output of dhclient) :

/sbin/dhclient-script: configuration for wlan0 not found.
dhclient.c(2046): null pointer
DHCPDECLINE on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3
DHCPOFFER from 192.168.0.1
DHCPREQUEST on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPACK from 192.168.0.1

it reapeats this over and over till I terminate it. dhclient works when I have my wired NIC plugged in, just not the wireless. I think the first line is the one makeing problems.
thanks,
