Strange performance of Linksys box

[Jerry Feldman]

I recently replaced my Linksys cable modem/DSL router with the wireless 
version. Everything seems to work fine, but I noticed one anomaly with my 
laptop:
When I connect, it assigns ip address 192.168.0.100, then later on I see 
that the ip address is  192.168.0.101. (This is a direct connect since I 
have not yet been able to get my wireless card to work properly under 
Linux). 

In the past, if I removed and reinserted the PCMCIA card, I would generally 
get the same ip address. Sometimes my dongle connector breaks contact, but 
in the past I have always been assigned the same ip. Not a serious problem, 
but mildly annoying. I could assign a static, but I use the laptop at work 
and at Northeastern, both of which use DHCP, so it would be a bit of a pain 
to switch.
