Haiku keeps reverting to DHCP

Description
For some reason Haiku can't get an IP from my wireless router, so I set my card to static, in the networks preflet. But even after doing that, no matter how many times, Haiku keeps changing my card back to DHCP, which results in me losing connectivity (since it gets only a 169.xxxxx IP address).

The network preferences application looks severly broken for more than one adapter.
It should work flawlessly if you use "ifconfig" from a Terminal to set the static configuration, does it?
In any case, could you attach your /boot/common/settings/network/interfaces file that the Network preferences application created?

Axel, thanks for the tip. Setting the interface to static via ifconfig seems to have helped. At least I've been online for 2 whole minutes now :)
As you requested, I'm attaching the interfaces file.
P.S.: Sorry for the double attachment, Web+ gave me an error when trying to upload the file but it seems to have done it.

It seems I spoke too soon (though I'll test it again ASAP). Few minutes after being online for one hour straight, I lost connection. ifconfig still gave me the same settings but I couldn't go anywhere. I tried setting it to auto and static once again (all via Terminal) but no go.

That sounds like a different problem from the original, since if DHCP had been the culprit in this instance, you would've seen ifconfig revert back to a 169.254.x.x IP.

For me, the dhcp aquires an IP ... then re-aquires ... forcing me to close the browser and re start it. Seting to static does not reesolve the problem as it will re-aquire an ip anyway.
This only happens if the wifi detects more than one wireless connection.

Does the issue still present after the net_server DHCP changes made since?

Closing, thanks for the feedback.
Forgot to mention that it's not Alpha 2 specific, it has happened ever since wifi has worked on my card (few months ago, thanks to Colin's work).
