DHCP issue w/F7T4 live cd/dvd

[Casey Stamper]

When I booted this CD in the live configuration, all was well (except the
audio, but I'm not really worried about that right now). I then installed on
an extra partition and it all installed fine (except for the audio) but now,
I can't pull an IP and keep it any longer than a few seconds. When I tail -f
/var/log/messages, here is what I see, over and over:

More info - possibly useless:

Obviously, the card is detected and utilized so it can't be a hardware or
driver issue, right? I also have an Ubuntu 7.04 partition and a Windows XP
partition that I boot and the hardware (including audio) all works fine in
those OSs. Has anybody else seen this? I looked through Bugzilla but didn't
see anything like this. What is really confusing is that eth0 is fine and
works flawlessly when I boot from the CD but not after I installed the OS.
