Description:
Upgraded to kernel 2.6.35 and couldn't get ip during boot but worked to run dhcpcd manually after boot.

Found discussion about this on the Gentoo forums which lead to this: http://roy.marples.name/archives/dhcpcd-discuss/2010/0218.html

I have tested using dhcpcd 2.5.7 and that solved the problem for me.

This was also mentioned on the forum https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=803601

(I have flagged dhcpcd out of date so maybe this is redudant and incorrect and then I am sorry but thought it might be easier to find if doing a bug report as well)

Additional info:
* package version(s)
kernel26 2.6.35-2 dhcpcd 2.5.6-1
* config and/or log files etc.

Steps to reproduce:
Enable testing
Make sure dhcpcd 5.2.6 is installed
update to kernel26 to 2.6.35-2
reboot
ifconfig ----> no ip address on eth0
Logs show that dhcpcd times out while "waiting for carrier"
nothing network related works
(works to get ip by running dhcpcd manually at this point)
Downgrade kernel to 2.6.34 and reboot
rebuild dhcpcd package using 5.2.7 and install this
upgrade kernel to 2.6.35
reboot
Now network works okey
This task depends upon

it should be fixed in 5.2.7, I'll get a package in testing. http://roy.marples.name/archives/dhcpcd-discuss/2010/0218.html
