[Bug 81782] Realtek ethernet controller detected but no automatic dhcp on edgy

[Marc Tardif]

Public bug reported:

After installing edgy on Compal HGL30 and HGL31 lapotps, the Realtek
ethernet controller seems supported and appears in the output of
ifconfig -a. However, no IP address is assigned automatically to the
interface on a network where a DHCP server is running. So, dhclient
needs to be called manually and an IP address is then assigned to the
interface.

This happens for both machines which have exactly the same ethernet
controller. This also happens consistently after each reboot.
