wifi joins but can't DHCP

Description
Wifi configuration appears to semi-successfully negotiate with router, but then can't get DHCP addresses. Manual addresses don't help (static in Network Preferences, or manually via "route add"), so I suppose the problem is deeper, but DHCP is the first thing that clearly fails.
Platform is ASUS Eee PC 1000HE --- device Network controller [2|80|0]
vendor 1814: Ralink corp. device 0781: RT2790 Wireless 802.11n 1T/2R PCIe
Router is Buffalo Airstation Turbo G High Power. I notice that conversation ends with something about media change involving speed. Network Preferences shows speed at 100 Mb/s. Can't see what the MacOS X hosts set their speed to, with this router.

Media speed in the network preferences always shows 100 Mb/s for everything, the feature isn't implemented and this is just a placeholder string.

I took the laptop out to a place within range of several open networks, and I think confirmed my suspicion that it doesn't really have much to do with DHCP. Sometimes it timed out in DHCP like this, others it went straight through that and got reasonable addresses, other times it got stuck in a loop of asking for a password (with the dialogue box indicating "Open".) In no case did it ever produce a usable network connection.

Same issue with my ASUS EEE-PC 1001HA. My DHCP syslog output is identical to the reporter.

It's hard to check anything, since I replaced the offending RT2790 card, but I'd say no. For one thing, I tried manual static addresses, no joy. For another, in some cases DHCP appeared to work. See comment 3.

I have an Asus EeePC 901 with the same Ralink that can't join any wireless network. It shows 'Symbol Not Found' for WPA2 and gets stuck 'configuring' for open networks. Tested on hrev52040.

'Symbol Not Found' message is odd. Does it say which symbol it is? Can reproduce this error message and look in syslog file for anything relevant?
comment:10 by , 6 years ago
It doesn't say which symbol. I hope there's something relevant in the syslog (I wouldn't know...).

What can be done? Haiku on this machine is too problematic, I wiped the HD clean and put an older hrev50162 on it but to no avail, and the more recent hrev52039 can't be tested because it gives a KDL after the fourth icon lights up (it can't find any boot partitions). Update: sorry for hijacking this ticket; it seems my problem is related to https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/11013

No reply in 2 months, and probably fixed after WiFi changes or hrev53000.
