Okay, now that's freaky. Faced with this, I'd go delete all interfaces
from MCC, remove any .old or whatever, then make new config files by
hand and write a quick script or two to swap them around.

One last thing to try before all that is watching the dhcp session with
ethereal or tcpdump, I still think it isn't communicating with the DHCP
server.
