I can confirm this issue too, but it's unique to the access point.

I have connected successfully to dozens of other access points, but I'm trying to connect to an SMC Barricade SMC7004AWBR. The wireless connection is established, and persists (802.11b, no encryption). But I cannot draw an ipaddress.

If I try to manually configure the ip address via `ifconfig ath0 192.168.2.50`, I get this error message:
SIOCSIFADDR: No buffer space available

One thing I noticed... This access point only supports 11mbps 802.11b. The iwconfig output, though, thinks it's connected to 802.11g. Could this be part of the problem?
