22 Sorry, I have no ideas to contribute. I am similarly confused about a
23 laptop I just got. It is a Compaq Evo N600c (82801CAM (ICH3) PRO.100
24 VM (KM) Ethernet Controller which I run with the e100 module). I use
25 dhcpcd and the darn thing will take ages to get an address from the
26 router. Some times I have to reboot both. Other boxen on the same
27 lan get an IP address in nanoseconds!

29 Please let us know if you crack this one.
