Well, that was interesting. As I previously stated, the module was loaded. So, I apt-get install dhcp-client just for kicks and boom...everything works..mostly. It grabbed the necessary info. eth0 shows up under ifconfig as it should, but now a "sit0" shows up. it says:
sit0 link encap:IPv6-inIPv4 plus 5 more lines below that. I have worked in linux for 4 or 5 years (new to debian I am ashamed to say though) and I have never seen or heard of sit0. What is it?
