 Cynthia's laptop couldn't get online, running joyride-2301. It was
 associating to APs but not getting anything over DHCP.

 While monitoring school server logs, I connected the XO to the school
 server network. The XS logs show the DHCPDISCOVER being received and a
 response being sent, but the XO never receives the reply.

 Only suspicious thing in kernel logs:
 {{{
 [   21.717140] libertas: 00:17:c4:15:42:46, fw 5.110.22p17, cap 0x000003a3
 [   21.746870] libertas: eth0: Marvell WLAN 802.11 adapter
 [   21.758063] libertas: PREP_CMD: command 0x0074 failed: 2
 }}}

 I tried to enable RX debugging through libertas_debug but this resulted in
 an endless flow of messages hitting the screen (looks like it is receiving
 _something_, too fast to read) which has occupied the CPU and now I can't
 do anything :(

 After reboot the problem was gone.
