I successfully installed the 8/16 snapshot at the office (which uses a 
different DHCP server) and dhclient acquires a lease with no problem. 
However, at home (using a Linksys router as the DHCP server), dhclient 
fails to get a lease.  As noted earlier, dhclient from 3.7 works fine at 
both locations.

There's nothing suspicious in /etc/dhclient.conf or 
/var/db/dhclient.leases.wi0.  I'm at a loss as to how to help debug this.

Any suggestions?
