yep.  Part of the problem may be related to some juggling I have to do.  
The MAC address that the BIOS uses differs from the address that NetBSD 
reports for the interface.  So, I have to maintain 2 configurations, or 
edit the dhcp.conf file after the kernel loads but before the OS.  It 
shouldn't make a difference, but I'll try manual switching the configs 
(I believe thats what I was doing previously when it was working).
