I see this as well - the computer boots fine but no network. The only clues
in the dmesg are:

[ 294.097876] warning: process `dhclient' gets w/ old libcap
[ 294.097893] warning: process `dhclient' sets w/ old libcap

So I'll try backing up the patch series to before:

add-64-bit-capability-support-to-the-kernel.patch

or so, and see if that's the problem. If anyone has any other ideas, let me
know.
