Thanks. I'm running ICS (?) dhcpd (not wide-dhcp) and I have two
subnet entries in /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf, one for 192.168.254 (wi0)
and the other on the local wire (192.168.0)

DHCP itself works. I'm getting an IP via DHCP on my notebook (wireless).
It's just that after a minute or two, the wireless connection
gets disrupted and the only thing I can correlate this, is the
dhcp permission denied error in /var/log/messages.
