Chuck,
I gave this a shot, but this stopped the interface being assigned an IP
address at all (i.e... before the change, the interface had a valid IP
address assigned by the DHCP server in my cable modem, but after making the
change and restarting, the "ifconfig" command shows the interface having an
IP address of 0.0.0.0).
I do agree though - the man page explicitly says that this should work.
Does running "dhclient ed1" from the command line work?
Is the DHCP server providing the right answer?
Running "tcpdump -s 0 arp or port bootps" would give you insight into what the
network is seeing, at least. Doing this from your DHCP server or a laptop on
a hub with the interface in question would be useful vantages, or a "trunk" or
"span" port on a smart switch, depending on what you might have handy.
