Comment 3 for bug 123829

Initially the eth0 handle was not assigned an IP address, so I added one by hand and was then able to log in from my Feisty laptop:

root@choochoo:~# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:EC:58:BB:AE
          inet addr:192.168.0.32 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1492 Metric:1
          RX packets:124 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:111 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:17746 (17.3 KB) TX bytes:17634 (17.2 KB)
          Interrupt:18 Base address:0xd800

I do see dhcp in memory:
root@choochoo:~# ps auxw | grep dhcp | grep -v grep
dhcp 3823 0.0 0.1 2496 636 ? S<s 11:40 0:00 dhclient3 -pf /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases eth0

I got this in /var/log/syslog:

Please make suggestions as to other items I should display. I presume since I have my Feisty booting fine each time, and the Gutsy machine booted okay until after the last upgrade, that it really is the dhcp client, and not my dhcp server.
