When the machine is booting, it shows it getting an IP address. Additionally, ifconfig -a and netstat -nr produce identical results before and after i manually run dhclient or ifconfig to grab a "new" IP. executing ifconfig (with or without arguments) after I'm connected causes connectivity to be lost, but typing dhclient or setting a new IP with ifconfig causes the issue to be "corrected" once again. I was able to workaround typing this in manually by adding "dhclient ep0" to my /etc/rc.local file, but this isn't really an acceptable long term solution. >How-To-Repeat: Reproduce the setup explained above. >Fix: None yet known. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
