WPA on startup

If I have my router and windows configured to use WPA when my laptop boots
up, the wireless card cannot connect to the router and it insteads gets a
169.254.xxx.xxx IP.

If I then disable my wireless card and re-enable it, I get the correct
192.168.xxx.xxx address.

Also if I set my router and wireless card to not have encryption or to use
WEP everything goes fine.

Has anyone seen this before? or any hints for solving the problem?

thanks in advance

I would ensure that you have the latest firmware on your router and the
latest card drivers for you wireless card. This sounds like a hardware
issue.

Is the target network secured with WPA or WPA-PSK?

Are you using the Microsoft Wireless client to manage the profile?

What operating system version is this? XP SP2?
