Installed a few updates yesterday, all went well. Booted up this morning and I get a different IP address from my DHCP server, and after a few mins I realise why.

Code:
# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00
          inet addr:192.168.2.199  Bcast:192.168.2.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:387 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:357 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:253568 (247.6 Kb)  TX bytes:44657 (43.6 Kb)
          Interrupt:177


WTF

What updates did you install? I got that error when I modprobed a generic module for an ethernet card under Red Hat. I installed the USR module and it detected the mac address fine. The card never worked, though :(
