This is my first time setting up dd-wrt. Just bought a WRT2300ACM to host the home network. After the router boots into dd-wrt, I can connect to the 'dd-wrt' network over wifi and access the router's admin page and internet from the laptop. After setting up the wireless SSID and security settings (WPA2 Personal/AES), the network shows up in Network Manager but it hangs then disconnects when selected. The roku and 5 year old ipad can connect with no problems. Tried connecting with my other laptop that had never connected to that router before. That hangs and disconects also. Both laptops run arch linux that are always updated. I've tried rebooting the router and the laptops. Tried changing the router's security settings to WPA2 Personal Mixed/TKIP+AES. Nope! The log shows that the connection authenticates and connects, but cruds out at ip-config state:
This seems like a misconfiguration on the laptops and hopefully easy to correct. They are both running network manager and there is no dhcpcd or dhclient installed. Has anyone seen this issue before? I tried the latest build r36104.
