Rather, it's what it's *not* doing. The UDP packet doesn't seem to be
getting to the C library. To answer Pascal's question: dig/host do the
same thing, they time out.

The settings come via DHCP. They work for every other device in the
building.

Okay, it's something funny with the linux-image-r5k-cobalt package,
which is the version in Wheezy since they haven't updated it for Jessie.
When I cross-compiled my own kernel (version 4.0.4), I get this:

So all is well now. If the Debian/MIPS project update
linux-image-r5k-cobalt then things should work fine.
