I think I'll leave mine as is until I or someone (hint, hint) comes up with the real fix. I don't reboot this machine very often and my script file seems to work fine. If you are interested, here it is $ cat /root/scripts/start-sk0.sh #! /bin/sh killall -9 dhclient sh /etc/netstart ifconfig -a If I ever have to reboot, I log in as root and execute this script and the network comes up fine. I then exit and log in as my normal user and startx. It was never more than an annoyance to me, so I can live like this.
