I now see an issue about DHCP in the F21 Common Bugs
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F21_bugs).  I'm at work, so I haven't
tried the workaround suggested there.  The problem is apparently that some
popular routers are not standards-compliant, and F21 sends the
client-identifier in a different format than F20 did. (My router is a Links=
ys
E4200.)=20

So this might be a source of connection problems, depending on the dhcp
server you're dealing with.
