I saw that.
dhcp is working over the wired connection.

I thought I had everything configured for wifi. It just does not work.

I have a cable modem <-> wifi/wired router. I have several machines 
connected. Linux and windoze, now. One RPi with NetBSD 10. Used to have 
some FreeBSD machines, but, they have been replaced.

I don't understand where the inet 169.254.135.120 comes from. The router 
pool is 192.168.1.xxx.
