[ltp] Problems with IBM EtherJet cardbus

[Andrew Steele]

FWIW,

It's my guess that something strange has happened to networking since
2.2.14.  If you've just upgraded to 2.2.16 then I'd go back to the previous
version.

I have not been able to get dhcp to work on some of my machines since
upgrading past 2.2.14.  Yesterday I upgraded an e-smith server to the
2.2.16-3 rpm and was not able to get networking working.

One machine is a TP600E with an Etherjet 10/100 CB but the others are not.
With the thinkpad it'll work if I use ifconfig it's just that DHCP fails.

Hope this is of some help.

Andrew
