Still not fixed ipup problem.
I am still finding that ipup is failing to bring up my ethernet interface with
the correct ip address. Its still the same problem I raised approx a month
ago.
Effectively I get two RTNETLINK answers failures during
the /etc/init.d/networking start sequence as shown from /var/log/boot snippet
below.

I can't find any explanation of what these RTNETLINK messages are, and in what
circumstances they appear. All that happens is the my ipaddress is not set
to that offered by the dhcp server.
Anybody any ideas of where to look for a solution?
