ah, that may be the source of the problem....When I'm using my wireless nic the
output of /sbin/mii-tool is:
eth0: no link
SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth1' failed: Operation not supported
Does it see the "Operation not supported" for the wireless nic then try to run
DHCP for both interfaces? (eth0 is the onboard nic, eth1 is my SMC wireless nic)
