Do you mean DHCP with the Wi-Fi card or with your Intel Pro? If Wi-Fi, 
then this (almost) makes sense. The card being recognized by card 
services doesn;t necessarily mean that it has been initialized & bound 
to any protocols (can't be bound until it's initialized; merely having 
resources supplied to it doesn't get it initialized, either, as it needs 
to have recognizable - recognizable by the NIC driver - resources 
assigned to it, and not just whatever's free). If the protocol isn't 
bound to it, you can't do DHCP, as you can't broadcast a DHCP discover 
packet to find a DHCP server, let alone do anything with an address from 
one.

I believe Oliver mentioned that the newer package can actually backlevel 
some stuff, and that all that's really been updated (until perhaps this 
latest release - 7 is it?) is IBMSS14.SYS.

I'm guessing that when you say "feedback loop" you mean "loopback," 
which is a bit different... ;-)  I don't get the speed difference at 
all. I don't see what would have changed, unless there was some resource 
conflict which was bogging the card down before.
