I have problems using dhclient with wireless USB card (rum driver)

I getting only this output

# dhlient rum0
rum0: no link .............. giving up

But I remmember that I did not have this type of problem(outpput)
before. So is this known issue, does somebody else have this problem
also?

It is unlikely this has anything to do with dhclient. There are two
likely possibilities a) the card isn't associating b) the card isn't
generating proper routing events when it does associate. You should try
observing the status with ifconfig or enabling messages with wlandebug.
