Ok, so it is normal to have the avahi device... but I'd say it is not normal 
to have it so hard to get a DHCP address.

That's not my bug... actually, once I have the IP, I keep hibernating and 
resuming because it goes on successfully getting an IP address. As soon as I 
reboot I'll spend the next two hours trying to get an IP.
