No, I've not received those messages.  It does seem that there
are several similar problems that might all be related in some
way to a timing issue.

I'm not sure how it is determined that a device driver has been
loaded and is ready for use.  It appears that in many cases 
some code makes an assumption that the driver is ready when
it is not.  This becomes more of a problem when a component
is of the GB persuasion...

I failed to say that my IP address failures are not consistent.
I get perhaps 1 failure in 10 reboots - on different machines.

I almost never see the IP address failure when I'm trying to 
do an install.
