A number of folks suggested that the problem with the Krups model
JavaStation is that it has a flash SIMM card in it; the "OS" installed
on this SIMM may interfere with the normal DHCP bootstrap process.

So I removed it.

The start-up screen on the JS is now different; it briefly flashes the
Java "steaming cup" logo, then transitions to a road hazard exclamation
point sign after the first DHCP broadcast fails.

Which is the point.  The DHCP broadcast still fails.  My DHCP server
claims to be offering up the proper address, but for some reason, the
JavaStation still doesn't take it.  I've recopied the DHCP config file
and some debug output below.

Thanks for the help, but any further ideas?
