I face a strange behavior while connecting to WiFi with my Android phone.
When I configure the WiFi settings to use a static IP at home with a Speedport router from Telekom everything works fine. I get a connection imediately. (Security credentials are WPA2-PSK/AES).
But when I try to connect to a Cisco environment (1142 access points with 5508 controller with the same security credentials as at home) after PSK authentication the phone start with DHCP requests instead of using the configured static IP and I don't get a connection.
First I thought it was of the Android ROM or the device but I tried different ROMs (stocks and customs) and different devices (Defy and Galaxy S). Everytime the same thing.
A laptop or an iPhone can connect without any problem using a static IP.
It seems that the controller or AP sends something to the phone telling it to ignore the static IP settings...
Strange!!!
