Hi, My router obtains an address via DHCP but complains about it:
receive_packet failed on eth0: Network is down And them I'm hosed. I've found that manually restarting the dhcpclient daemon fixes the problem. Why is this happening?

Nov 1 23:19:46 myrouter dhclient: receive_packet failed on eth0: Network is down Myrouter is a 486 sans floating point unit. Its been in use for just over a year. I checked the cables, vacuumed it out, reseated the NICs... I'm thinking I need to add a 'sleep 20' somewhere during startup to correct the problem. Recently I've been having to reboot the router nightly (running out of virtual memory) - but I've been attributing this to problems at my ISP or one of the people in my neighborhood since I have a cable modem. Perhaps 12MB isn't enough memory? Should I still be running EigerStein? Is there a better distribution for a non-FPU 486?
