Probably netcfg-dhcp should fail if it does not aquire a lease.

We know that it works on a great many debian systems, because every debian system that boots with a debian initd loads every pci ide driver on boot. I am not aware of any way to detect what ide driver is needed except for loading them all and letting ide-probe do its job. I also know that if you don't load some of them, some IDE devices will not be visible at all, and some IDE devices (such as the one in my very common laptop) will hang with DMA issues. I think I'll not worry about this unless we get reports of it causing problems, if it does we can disable whichever module causes the hypothetical problem. -- see shy jo
