Just one question, did you get a "waiting for mandatory devices" message? I change DHCP_DEBUG to yes... here is output from /var/log/messages I did some investigation on this over the weekend. First, the problem is NOT DHCP. "waiting for mandatory devices" comes from /etc/init.d/network In my case, this started to occur when I set up different profiles. I found when I booted into init 3, in all cases the network modules were not loaded. In my case for the wireless, ndiswrapper and for the wired, tg3. However, when I booted into KDE using my wireless profile, while I did receive the above message, and the wireless did not come up immediately under KDE, it did come up a few seconds later. The wired still showed it was down, so I clicked on the network button in

My preliminary conclusion is that in the case of my laptop, the issue is
with the way I set up the profiles. I have not determined if this is a bug
or a cockpit error. It is a minor irritant that can be easily solved by a
number of things. I may switch to KNetworkManager in the future.
