It is a different marvell card, and a different OS (Feisty, and not Gutsy), but the same problem.
In the last page of the thread some guy says something that make sense to me.
<blockquote>To my knowledge this will have nothing to do with dhclient. Have a look at this list and decide for yourself:
- dhcp on, beacon on: works
- dhcp on, beacon off: error
- dhcp off, beacon off: error</blockquote>
I do not know what "beacon" is, nor how i can turn it on or off; but it seems to me something related to wireless.
At home, i have wireless, and ethernet provide ip for 1525.
At work, no wireless, no ip through ethernet.
As most people have wireless, they are not aware of this problem.
Anyway, i do not know if this is right or not.

Thank you.
