*Well, this sounds promising*. The device does request an IP address, so
that might indicate that it is not bricked.
Maybe I am being dense, but what is the next suggested step?
Here is the last dhcp config file I tried:
m...@mymythbe:/etc/dhcp3$ cat dhcpd.conf
#
# Sample configuration file for ISC dhcpd for Debian
#
# Attention: If /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf exists, that will be used as
# configuration file instead of this file.

# The ddns-updates-style parameter controls whether or not the server will
# attempt to do a DNS update when a lease is confirmed. We default to the
# behavior of the version 2 packages ('none', since DHCP v2 didn't
# have support for DDNS.)
