Connects to tether, but no IP address

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Which device (manufacturer, type)?

HTC Incredible

Which firmware is installed?

2.2

Kernel 2.6.32.17

What version of wireless tether are you using?

2.0.2 pre-14

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Root system, install Wireless Tether
2. Configure WEP
3. Add network to Win 7
4. Connect to network

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expect Win 7 to pick up an IP address, netmask, gateway & DNS via DHCP, then 
connect to the Internet.

Windows finds and connects to AndroidTether just fine, but it never gets its IP 
configuration.

Please provide any additional information below.

Laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1545.

Wireless adapter is an Atheros AR9285

I researched this on the Internet. No joy. I re-configured the adapter to 
static, 192.168.2.11, gateway 192.168.2.254 (which seems to be the way the 
tether is supposed to be configured).

Can't ping anything, including gateway.

Summary:

Laptop finds and connects to AndroidTether ad-hoc network, but does not receive 
an IP configuration via DHCP. Assigning static IP configuration also fails, 
even though the laptop is on the same IP network.
