DHCP client going nuts, refreshing a lot

[Trix]

I have an Abit Airpace wifi (Atheros based AR5000X) and a Dlink
DGL-4300 gaming router. Recently I was getting a breif disconnect
every hour, and every hour I would see "Your computer was successfully
assigned an address from the network, and it can now connect to other
computers." from DHCP-Client in the Windows Log Viewer.

So I decided that I'd manually assign an IP, which seems to have
solved the disconnect problem, but the DHCP-Client lists in my logs is
going nuts. It is listing at an insane rate. Here is a picture.

Anyone know why, or more importantly how to fix this? Thanks!

First thing to do might be to look at the router settings? Firstly,
something there might be behind this, so it seems like a reasonable place to
look, and secondly it strikes me that turning off DHCP server here might
tidy up the messages you're seeing even if it isn't behind them to start
with.

I tried http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233 , and the logs still
kinda go nuts. Maybe atheros doesn't know how to write drivers for
Vista yet? The connection seems to work just fine now though, so maybe
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233 fixed it, and I won't get
disconnects in hour intervals. As long as the logs don't actually take
up insane ammounts of space, I guess I'm good.

The logs will automatically overwrite themselves so you should be ok there.
You might check with the driver manufacturer on an updated driver (though
many don't have any just yet).
