    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.
