Both were not enabled the last time or two I compiled the kernel, so
since they aren't the problem, I will compile them back in.  I also
tried disabling grsecurity to make sure that wasn't the problem, but
that didn't work either.

I do have other systems that use the same DHCP server and they all work
fine (even other Gentoo systems).  It's not a cable or switch problem
since the system works just fine if I boot off of the Gentoo install
CD.  When I boot off the CD, the system detects the NIC and DHCP gets an
ip address and everything is fine, yet the system refuses to work with
the kernel (gentoo-sources) that I've compiled.  This is really
frustrating.
