Thank you for the willingness to help.
Michael Crider of Howell-Oregon Electric Cooperative assisted me greatly by
giving me a phone call and being willing to temporarily post some of the
April LTSP releases of the 2.6.16 kernel. He provided the following
files:
ltsp-kernel-2.6.16.1-ltsp-2-0-i386.ltsp
ltsp-kernel-2.6.16.1-ltsp-2-0-i386.tgz
ltsp-modules-2.6.16.1-ltsp-2-0-i386.ltsp
ltsp-modules-2.6.16.1-ltsp-2-0-i386.tgz
Which did in fact work to get my Neoware e90 (with a Via Rhine II nic)
running. I'm sure that anyone else with this problem should be able to get
things going. Unfortunately, I do not have the ability to post these files
myself for download, but if you are still in search of these files as a
solution to the DHCP problems, I'd be willing to try to arrange to send
them directly to you if you desire.
Thank you again to everyone involved.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] DHCP Failure
I will try producing a 2.6.16 kernel package to solve the Rhine problems.
The problem is I just moved into a new office, and i'm still sorting out
all my networking, and I won't have my development server back online
until at least saturday.
