assume eth0 has static IP 192.168.0.10
assume rest of network is on DHCP with dhcp pool 192.168.0.*
it is very likely that while linux:eth0 is down, some other machine
comes up and gets IP address 192.168.0.10.
After that, if eth0 comes up, it gets an IP conflict.
It seems that this is not the case here since the dhcp pool does not
include the linux machine's IP address.
