Running tcpdump on the affected machine, I can see packets coming in, I can see the DHCP packets going out, but I can't see any response to these DHCP packets. So I suspect the packets going out aren't getting out or are being corrupted. Rebooting the machine to Ubuntu 12.04, and everything works fine again. As per old red hat bug, I tried apic=off, this didn't help. lspci says: 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566DM-2 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02) Unfortunately, without network access, I cannot run ubuntu-bug, as described in guidelines.
