Just to clarify, I think the problem is because the DHCP server tells my computer to go to 168.122.0.1 to leave to subnet and get to the Internet, but doesn't tell my computer how to get to 168.122.0.1 (which is outside the subnet).

Using this network block for wpa_supplicant.conf, I manage to connect, authenticate, & get a DHCP lease. However, while my DHCP client tries to add a default route for 168.122.0.1, netlink for the same interface complains that "Network is unreachable". As a result, no default route is set.

   # BU wireless. Does not need vpnc to go online.

           phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"

Here's the syslog for the DHCP client in case anyone decides to take a whack at this problem:

Here's the output of route for the eth1 interface:

   Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 168.122.3.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 2000 0 0 eth1


Feels like the problem is mostly solved. The last hurdle doesn't seem to be a wireless or 802.1x problem; rather it feels like a network config. or DHCP problem. (Some parts of the logs and network config block has been modified to protect myself.)
