[Mageia-dev] eth0 no longer interacts with DHCP at boot ?

Yet another recent strangeness that started sometime last week...
+
+My system has a single, wired NIC (eth0) configured to be started at 
+boot.  It is also configured to use DHCP and to get its hostname from 
+the DHCP server.
+
+For the last few days, when I boot, the interface comes up, but the 
+hostname is set to localhost.localdomain, and there are no messages in 
+syslog indicating that any DHCP requests are being sent.  I get to the 
+network just fine, but ifconfig shows:
+
+eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0C:41:EE:E2:E1
+           inet6 addr: fe80::20c:41ff:feee:e2e1/64 Scope:Link
+           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
+           RX packets:25770 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
+           TX packets:24117 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
+           collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
+           RX bytes:8936889 (8.5 MiB)  TX bytes:3339309 (3.1 MiB)
+           Interrupt:21 Base address:0xe800
+
+i. e. eth0 has no ipv4 IP address.  However, syslog *does* contain the line:
+
+Jan 24 11:10:55 localhost kernel: eth0: no IPv6 routers present
+
+So to whom is he talking ?  Moreover, looking at ifcfg-eth0:
+
+DEVICE=eth0
+BOOTPROTO=dhcp
+ONBOOT=yes
+METRIC=10
+MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=no
+USERCTL=no
+RESOLV_MODS=no
+IPV6INIT=no
+IPV6TO4INIT=no
+ACCOUNTING=no
+NM_CONTROLLED=no
+DHCP_CLIENT=dhclient
+NEEDHOSTNAME=yes
+PEERDNS=yes
+PEERYP=yes
+PEERNTPD=no
+
+IPv6 seems to be disabled completely.
+
+If I ifdown/ifup eth0, things go back to normal:
+
+eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0C:41:EE:E2:E1
+           inet addr:192.168.3.102  Bcast:192.168.3.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
+           inet6 addr: fe80::20c:41ff:feee:e2e1/64 Scope:Link
+           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
+           RX packets:25979 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
+           TX packets:24333 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
+           collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
+           RX bytes:8971923 (8.5 MiB)  TX bytes:3392939 (3.2 MiB)
+           Interrupt:21 Base address:0xe800
+
+So what has changed in the boot-time interface starting procedure ?
