Comment(by dcbw):

 this is because DHCP failed; and in WEP that means one of three things:
 (a) your WEP key is wrong, or (b) you're at the margins of your network,
 or (c) your DHCP server is down.  Normal procedure here is to re-input the
 key, or click cancel and click on the AP again in mesh view.

 DHCP transaction took too long (>45s), stopping it.

 Your AP replied to the initial DISCOVER with an OFFER, but isn't replying
 to the DHCP request for that address.
