Wifi Stucks on "Obtaining IP Address"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Settings --> Wireless --> Turn On
2. Scanning for Wifi Network --> Select my Wifi 
3. Insert my passkey (also tried with No passkey in my router)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output is "Connected to Network". Instead I see System stucks on 
"Obtaining IP Address" and Wifi doesn't connect.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Froyo 2.2 eeepc Version on Asus Eeepc 901

Please provide any additional information below.
- If I connect my lan cable in ethernet plug, Ethernet Works, but Wifi not.
- If I change "Dhcp mode" in "Static IP" in Ethernet Setting, Wifi give an IP 
but I cannot browse on internet.

Try adding your Wi-Fi network manually and connect. It works for me on my 
1005hag using Froyo.

I had Froyo 2.2 eeepc on Asus Eee PC 701, had the same issue with wifi. It just 
stucked at obtaining IP address. I did as the comment above, manually add the 
wifi network. It worked! Funny though.

On my Eeepc 701, I had to turn wifi off an on, and also fumbling with the 
auto-scan off/on.

When android has once found a network and successfully obtained the IP, it 
manages connecting automatically on the next bootups.

Same problem, as the folllowing:

Please provide any additional information below.
- If I connect my lan cable in ethernet plug, Ethernet Works, but Wifi not.
- If I change "Dhcp mode" in "Static IP" in Ethernet Setting, Wifi give an IP 
but I cannot browse on internet.

However, I manager to assign IP manually, and then I can connect to Internet 
and browse. The problem is, when I reboot my netbook, all settings lost and I 
have to retype all manual IP address, gateway, subnet mask, and dns settings 
all over again. 

Is there a way to save settings permanently ? 

Thank You !

Ed

I’ve found a solution (working in my case):
On the terminal
su
cd /etc/dhcpcd
chmod 555 dhcpcd-run-hooks

Then turns off/on you Wifi
