I doubt this is a dhcp issue since I was able to upgrade from FC4
to FC6t1 using the existing nfs and dhcp server. The problem is that the
network interface was no longer found once I booted the machine. I was
hoping to avoid having to fix the network card issue by upgrading/installing
rawhide. It is tough to install new drivers, etc. when the network interface
is hosed. :-(
