"netconfig" failed to configure dhcp. "ifup eth0" works. We have verified that this has happen on three different systems.
This is fixed in pump-0.8.11-1.
The version of "netconfig" in RC2 is pump-0.8.11-1 and that is what is failing.
I must have selected beta2 when reporting the bug oops, this is happening in RC2 with pump-0.8.11-1.
netconfig no longer brings the interface up when run; this is intentional (bringing it up before was a bad idea, and was, in general, broken.)
