I booted a spare laptop that had been sitting on the shelf for months during
this little episode, and it had no problems, so I don't think that's it.

dhcp.conf was intact - I did check that

well, I don't know about that - I had been poking around webmin that night,
but I didn't configure anything with it -

no one else has chimed in
I did notice one other thing regarding slpd; on boot I get a selinux message
saying it has failed to get permissions - I can't give details because I'm on
my way out of town
Hope this current configuration 'holds' - my downstairs housemate wouldn't
want internet down for a whole weekend - fortunately, I have a router that
can be swapped in for my Linux box, and I left him instructions on how to do
that - I guess I'm in wait and see mode
