First, Dimensions are CRITCAL at these frequencies. Get everything as close to the correct sizes as possible. Even 0.1" can be signifcant in this range.

Second, experiment using a good known AP. Trying to get something to work if you have no idea what's on the other end will only lead to frustration. Hell someone could have a tried a tinfoil antenna on the AP for all you know.

Third, there are legal dangers to getting a IP via DHCP if you're not invited. Be careful, you may be on thin ice.
