Help WIFI "disabled" message

androidforums.com/zte-t-avail-zte-merit/659100-zte-merit-z990g-wifi-connectivity-issues.html

"No. It is a problem with Android. If you have root there it's a fix. Go to ect/dhcpcd/ & change the permission of dhcpcd-hooks folder to rwx for all users."

Thanks for responding. Unfortunately, I have no idea what you are talking about here. Can you please clarify?

Thanks!

Did you try ressettting the wifi

I'm out of ideas too! I have tried:

reseting the base station
reseting the phone
removing the battery
restoring defaults
disabling firewalls
disabling the WEP key
adding a wifi network on the phone
changing the wireless mode

...all with the same results. The phone spends several minutes "obtaining the ip address" flashes "remembered" then sticks on "disabled."
