Alex,
Thanks for the report. I don't see anything in -22 that looks like it
would've affected your setup, but in -22lenny1 there is a security fix
for the r8169 driver. Would you mind retesting -22 just to be sure?
Also, please supply the output of 'dmesg' on your system after the
dhcp fails on -22lenny1. It might be useful to see the output on
-21lenny4 as well for comparison.
