I tried booting 2.6.14-rc2 on my firewall last Wednesday and it failed to get its IP address via bootp. I did not see any packets being transmitted from the machine.
I was going to do some investigation this weekend until I also found that it would mean that PCMCIA on the box would be busted, which, unfortunately, means it's useless to run a later kernel. Hence the investigation is shelved until I've sorted out PCMCIA userland.
