Public bug reported:
I have an ADSL modem that runs a DHCP server, and always assign IP addrs in the
192.168.1.x space. Recently, my box loses network every now and then.
*Something* strange happens:
# /sbin/ifconfig

I have no idea where the "169.254.4.109" addr comes from. It does not
seem to exist on internet, google didn't find it either.
The "solution" is to unplug the cable, and plug it back in. In a few seconds
all will be fine again:
$ /sbin/ifconfig

WTF ??
